Unfortunately this film has only been released on VHS in Brazil. The artless special effects are very poor in the present day but who cares? The delightful story of a teenager that dreams on going away from the trailer camp where he lives and becomes the savior of the universe is highly entertaining and also funny, since the situation of the Beta Alex with Maggie is hilarious. "The Last Starfighter" is one of my favorite cult-movies of the 80's. Now, Alex and his partner Grig (Dan O'Herlihy) are the last chance to avoid the invasion of the cruel Xur. After lying to his hard-to-pleased grandmother, a Mumbai street photographer convinces a shy stranger to pose as his fiancee in this sweet charming romance drama from Ritesh Batra, the acclaimed Indian filmmaker who previously made the Cannes-winning film 'The Lunchbox' and also Netflix's Robert Redford-Jane Fonda romance 'Our Souls at Night. He summons Centauri and learns that all the starfighters have been murdered in a treacherous attack to the Rylos' base. Alex returns to his house and finds that he is hunted by alien agents sent by Xur to kill him. Alex arrives in the planet Rylos but he refuses the invitation. Sooner Alex learns that Centauri's car is a spacecraft and the Starfighter game is actually a test to find skilled warriors to protect the Star League frontier against Xur (Normam Snow) and Kodan (George McDaniel) armada. When Alex breaks the record of the Starfighter video game, he is visited by a man called Centauri (Robert Preston) that tells him that he works in the company that manufactures the game and invites him to a ride in his car. However, Alex receives a letter informing that his request of loan had been denied for his great deception. Alex is a handyman that helps his neighbors in small tasks and he is waiting for a loan to go to the university and move from the camp with his girlfriend Maggie Gordon (Catherine Mary Stewart) to the city.
