About The Last Starfighter (1984)

The Last Starfighter (1984) pioneered extensive CGI spacecraft (replacing traditional models) while telling a wish-fulfillment story about a video game champion recruited to fight an actual intergalactic war. Lance Guest plays Alex Rogan, a trailer park teenager whose high score on the Starfighter arcade game catches the attention of alien recruiter Centauri, played with scene-stealing charm by Robert Preston in his final film role. The movie's premise—that video game skills translate to real combat abilities—spoke directly to a generation of arcade-obsessed kids who dreamed of being heroes. While the CGI looks dated now, The Last Starfighter's heart and the appeal of its "ordinary kid saves the galaxy" narrative have kept it beloved by fans who grew up with it.
