John Travolta looms over humanity beneath enormous hair and an even larger performance. Tilted camerawork, a lumbering rebellion and astonishing leaps in human competence turn this expensive science-fiction epic into a monument to misplaced confidence.

Synopsis and movie facts
In the year 3000, man is no match for the Psychlos, a greedy, manipulative race of aliens on a quest for ultimate profit. Led by the powerful Terl, the Psychlos are stripping Earth clean of its natural resources, using the broken remnants of humanity as slaves. What is left of the human race has descended into a near primitive state. After being captured, it is up to Tyler to save mankind.
