'The Last Starfighter' shows that being an intergalactic hero isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The Last Starfighter is a film that fits into multiple categories. It's one of the first films, alongside the original Tron, to make use of early computer-generated imagery.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The film centers on Alex Rogan , a kid who feels like he's going nowhere in life. He lives with his mother Jane and little brother Louis in a trailer park, and in the movie's opening he finds out that he lost out on a college scholarship that would have been his ticket out of a humdrum existence. The only escape he finds is in the video game "Starfighter," especially since he's the highest-scoring player in the game.
Alex shying away from being a hero is an unexpected turn, but one that makes the film stand out from its predecessors, and those that came after. He's understandably freaked out when he learns the video game he's been playing is actually based on a real-life conflict, and it only grows worse when he pilots the Gunstar for the first time.
