The Last Starfighter**
(US 1984)
A trailer park boy who is a whizz at a space wars computer game finds himself thrust into the real thing.
Passable and enjoyable 80s tribute to the Lucas and Spielberg genre, fairly lightweight and not to be taken too seriously, with computer effects that look basically like computer effects. More fun than Tron.
Written by: Jonathan Betuel.
Producers: Gary Adelson, Edward O. Denault.
Director: Nick Castle.
Starring: Lance Guest, Robert Preston, Dan O'Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, Norman Snow, Barbara Bosson, Kay E. Kuter, Vernon Washington, Wil Wheaton.
Photography:King Baggot.
MusicL CRaig Safan.
Visual Effects Co-ordinator: Jeffrey A. Okun.
+ closing credit: "Video game available from Atari, Inc."
Preceded by:
The Milky Way**
(US 1940. 7m.; p,d: Rudolf Ising; voices of Billie Burke, Mae Questel.)
