What if the Wright Brothers thought that only birds should fly? And did Geloca think the Yulus were too ugly to save? Alex Rogan : Who's Geloca? Centauri : [hesitates] Never mind. Alex Rogan : Listen, Centauri, I'm not any of those guys. I'm a kid from a trailer park.

Centauri is actually an alien and his car a spacecraft; Alex is essentially abducted, and a doppelganger android named Beta is used to cover Alex's absence. Alex learns that the Starfighter arcade game represents a real-life conflict between the Rylan Star League and the Ko-Dan Empire; the latter is led by Xur, a native Rylan traitor to whom the Ko-Dan Emperor has promised control of Rylos.
The game was designed as a test to find those "with the gift"; Alex, expected to be the gunner for a Starfighter spacecraft called the Gunstar, befriends a reptilian pilot named Grig. He also learns that the Frontier is a forcefield protecting Rylos and its surrounding planets from invasion; Xur has given the Ko-Dan the means to breach it. Xur reveals he has discovered an infiltrator in his ranks and broadcasts the spy's execution to the Star League.
He then proclaims that once Rylos' moon is in eclipse, the Ko-Dan Armada will begin their invasion. Unnerved by everything he has seen, Alex asks to be taken home.
On Earth, Centauri tells Alex to contact him should he change his mind. Meanwhile, a saboteur eliminates the Starfighter base defenses, causing heavy damage, killing the Starfighters, and destroying the Gunstars. Only Grig and an advanced prototype Gunstar survive. Alex discovers Beta and contacts Centauri to retrieve him. Centauri arrives just as Alex and Beta are attacked by an alien assassin, a Zando-Zan, in Xur's service; Centauri shoots off its right arm.
He then explains that more Zando-Zan will be coming and the only way for Alex to protect his family and Earth is to embrace his ability as a Starfighter. Before Alex can reply, the assassin mentally controlling its severed arm attempts to shoot Alex. Centauri jumps in the way, taking the hit and killing the alien. Alex and Centauri fly back to the Starfighter base, where Centauri succumbs to his injuries.
While Grig trains Alex, Beta finds it difficult to maintain his impersonation of Alex, particularly with Maggie, Alex's girlfriend. After discovering that a group of Zando-Zan have set up a communication center from their spaceship outside the trailer park, Beta reveals everything to Maggie. She does not believe him until the Zando-Zan discover the pair and Beta is shot, exposing damaged circuitry.
They steal a friend's pickup truck and charge it at the Zando-Zan ship; Beta has Maggie jump out before sacrificing himself by crashing into the ship, destroying it. Alex and Grig attack the Ko-Dan mothership, crippling its communications. Once Alex's weapons are depleted, he desperately activates a secret weapon on the Gunstar, the "Death Blossom", that destroys the remaining Ko-Dan fighters.
With the fleet destroyed, Lord Kril orders Xur executed for his arrogance and failure to ensure victory, but Xur escapes the mothership just before Alex cripples its guidance controls, causing it to crash into Rylos' moon.

Rating: PG. Runtime: min. See All Details and Credits. Watch Now. Buy on. Stream On. Critic Reviews. Staff Not Credited. With The Last Starfighter, director Nick Castle and writer Jonathan Betuel have done something so simple it's almost awe-inspiring: they've taken a very human story and accented it with sci-fi special effects, rather than the other way around. Read full review.
Clever, exciting, and fun, The Last Starfighter boasts good performances by Guest and Preston, and a literate, funny script that highlights the real story: not the space war that only Guest can win but the difficulty of leaving home, family, and security for a totally new life when the opportunity presents itself.
Keith Phipps. A sweet, unabashedly corny, matinee-friendly science-fiction adventure starring Lance Guest as a trailer-park videogame prodigy, and Robert Preston as the alien who recruits him to save the day from some space-baddies.
We're basically on the one yard line and I believe it will happen. He also shared a "sizzle reel" — which is like a rough trailer or a concept presentation — that he and screenwriter Jonathan Betuel — who wrote the original movie had put together with the aid of artwork from Matt Allsopp — who worked on " Rogue One " and music from Chris Tilton and Craig Safan — who composed the score for the original movie.
The Last Starfighter Blu-ray. Help defend the Frontier against Zur and the Kodan armada in this classic sci-fi adventure. The original movie starred Lance Guest as Alex Rogan — a down-on-his-luck teenager, struggling to make something of his life — and Dan O'Herlihy as Grig — his lizard-like alien mentor. Stuck in a trailer park, life wasn't exactly throwing opportunities at Alex and his only form of escapism was a video arcade game called "The Last Starfighter" that he poured every available quarter into.
As such, he became pretty good at it and finally achieved the record high score by actually completing the game.
