After a race of giant bugs on the distant planet of Klendathu successfully destroys a distant-future capital city, Buenos Aires, Earth’s massive military mobilizes and moves to exact revenge on these “bug bastards”.
Hailed as a treasured, cult classic in the Sci-Fi movie community, Starship Troopers is a TV-quality 90s action romp that will be surprisingly enjoyable for some–especially if you think the only good bug is a dead bug! After a race of giant bugs on the distant planet of Klendathu successfully destroys a distant-future capital city, Buenos Aires, Earth’s massive military mobilizes and moves to exact revenge on these “bug bastards”. With bits of diegetic, pro-Earth, pro-military propaganda sprinkled into the film, the concepts pose a profoundly precise satire of human behavior regarding fascism, jingoism, and zealotry.
