“One of the most misunderstood movies ever! A ruthlessly funny and keenly self-aware sendup of right-wing militarism” –The Atlantic

From the bridge of the Fleet Battlestation Ticonderoga, with its sweeping galactic views, to the desolate terrain of planet Klendathu, teeming with shrieking, fire-spitting, brain-sucking special effects creatures, acclaimed director Paul Verhoeven crafts a dazzlingly subversive epic adapted from (and sardonically critiquing) Robert A. Heinlein’s classic sci-fi adventure. Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris and Patrick Muldoon star as a group of young adults recruited to fight against bug-like aliens on the distant and desolate Klendathu system. A ruthless (and hysterical, if you’re in the right mood) critique of fascism masquerading as a balls-to-the-walls action adventure, STARSHIP TROOPERS can rightly be called one of the most genuinely subversive films ever produced by a major Hollywood studio.
