It's the year 3000, and Earth is under the dominion of the Psychos from planet Psychlo, a race of nine-foot-tall aliens intent on strip-mining the planet and using the remaining...
more...scraps of backward humanity (which they call Man-Animals) as slave labor. Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler (Barry Pepper) is an ambitious young man who decides to explore the region beyond his home, to learn more about the monsters who have taken over his world. Terl (John Travolta), head of Psychlo Security, is ready to leave the backwater planet, but when he is denied a promotion he schemes to make himself wealthy and powerful. Terl comes across Jonnie and decides the human's above-average intelligence is just what he needs, educating him and letting him loose to mine gold in an isolated region. Jonnie must take this opportunity to try to destroy the Psychlos and free humanity from oppression, with only the help of the other disorganized tribes still existing on planet Earth, and with Terl watching his every move. BATTLEFIELD EARTH is an action-packed sci-fi movie based on the best-seller by L. Ron Hubbard, which Travolta (who both starred in the movie and produced it) had wanted to make into a movie for more than 15 years.

I will not bore you with the details of the sad pathetic and tedious story.This is a film that truly should never have been made.It is from the book written by John Travoltas's mentor and leader of the brainwashing cult 'Scientolegy' L Ron Hubbard.Thank god this man is dead so he can not produce any more rubbish for Travolta to insult us with.I have seen hundreds of films and Battlefield Earth is without a shadow of a doubt the worst film ever made.It is truly awful watching it is the equivalent of having all your teeth and fingernails being pulled out simultaneously while having sulphuric acid constantly sprayed into your eyes,it really is that bad believe me.I had to expierience this abortion to remind me how bad cinema can get and to be thankful for the few good films that are around.
