Synopsis
Not every hero is destined for greatness; some just stumble into it in a flying Winnebago. Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" is a gleefully silly spoof of epic science fiction, poking fun at everything from "Star Wars" to "Star Trek." When the greedy leader of the planet Spaceball, President Skroob (Brooks), runs out of fresh air, he schemes to steal the atmosphere of the peaceful planet Druidia by kidnapping its runaway princess, Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). Her rescue falls to a clueless but daring space mercenary, Lone Starr (Bill Pullman), and his loyal half-man, half-dog sidekick, Barf (John Candy), who are desperate to pay off a debt to a gangster named Pizza the Hutt (voiced by Dom DeLuise). Along the way, they face off against the sinister, short-statured Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), tangle with the sassy robot Dot Matrix (voiced by Joan Rivers) and meet Yogurt (also Brooks), a wise little sage who teaches Lone Starr the mysterious power of "the Schwartz," and the even greater power of merchandising. May the farce be with you in this hysterically funny space oddity!
