The washed-up stars of a cult science fiction show are mistaken for real intergalactic heroes and transported to space to broker peace with an evil war lord. This comedy takes its time to get going, but it offers delightful parody of science fiction and its fan culture, but also delivers laughs to people who are not scifi nerds.
