The Man Who Saved the World
A charmingly ramshackle space-fantasy adventure that embraces its low-budget absurdity with earnest action and borrowed spectacle.
Two space cadets crash-land on a desert planet, where an evil wizard seeks the ultimate power to take over the world. Although the movie borrows some background footage from Star Wars, the plot is mostly unrelated.
