“The only good bug is a dead bug!”
In the distant future, square-jawed All-American star high school quarterback Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) is graduating and deciding what his future holds. With his heart set on leaving Civilian life behind for Citizenship, Johnny signs up to join the Mobile Infantry – see the galaxy, do his duty....and maybe impress his girlfriend Carmen (Denise Richards) just a little.
When a giant asteroid is hurled out of the Klendathu System at Earth, it means WAR! for the Mobile Infantry, with Johnny Rico sent off to Planet P – an ugly planet, a bug planet – to fight for Earth against the Arachnids.
Beyond the skin-deep “Beverley Hills 90210 meets Aliens” splatterfest, Verhoeven’s satire of authoritarian militarism left many of its original critics in its wake, becoming firmly entrenched as a sci-fi cult classic.
"Do you want to know more?"
