From Box Office Bomb to Cult Beloved: The Story of The Last Starfighter (2021x46)

Udgivelsesdato: Nov 18, 2021

The Last Starfighter is a 1984 American science fiction film directed by Nick Castle and along with Disney's Tron, has the distinction of being one of cinema's earliest films to use extensive "real-life" computer-generated imagery (CGI) to depict its many starships, environments and battle scenes. One thing it has in common with Tron is that The Last Starfighter was a box office bomb upon initial release, killing plans for any sequels. Despite numerous comparisons to Star Wars here we are, 35+ years later still talking about it.
