GALAXY QUEST is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the influence science fiction shows such as STAR TREK have had on their audience. The cast members of the cult sci-fi television series GALAXY QUEST now earn their livings appearing at conventions and grand openings, led by their bombastic captain Jason Nesmith, played by Tim Allen. When an alien race--the Thermians--arrives on earth, it appears that they have mistakenly appropriated the show's culture as their own, thinking the series was actual fact. Desperate for help in battling the evil General Sarris, they bring the actors with them into space to save their planet. A surprisingly smart and funny send-up of the science-fiction culture and the influence television has on the world at large, GALAXY QUEST is a comedy that even nongenre fans can enjoy, with terrific turns by Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Sam Rockwell, and Tony Shalhoub.

Shot in Los Angeles, California, and Goblin Valley, Utah.

Distributor Notes: For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector - "Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" (Tim Allen), "Lt. Tawny Madison (Sigourney Weaver) and "Dr.Lazarus" (Alan Rickman) - set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space...and then their series was cancelled! Now, twenty years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for "historical documents" and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe. With no script, no director and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

"...Mischievously clever..."
"...The expert cast is more than game. Extra points to [Rickman and Weaver]..." -- 3 out of 5 stars
"...Genuinely imaginative special effects which manage to recognisably in the spirit of the cheesy originals..."
"...Fast, light and funny, GALAXY QUEST has a wide, generation-spanning appeal -- and you don't have to be a die-hard Trekkie to enjoy it..."
"...[With] Enrio Colantoni scoring as a marble-mouthed alien; and a deeply funny Sam Rockwell as the crew member-extra..."
"...This tightly scripted, lightning-paced laffer delightfully pulls all the elements together and builds to a giddy and gleeful climax..."
