Join See It On 16mm for a special one night-only screening of Spaceballs, Mel Brooks’ 1987 Star Wars pastiche!
When the nefarious Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) hatches a plan to snatch Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) and steal her planet’s air, space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his clueless sidekick (John Candy) fly to the rescue. Along the way, they meet Yogurt (Mel Brooks), who puts Lone Starr wise to the power of “The Schwartz.” Can he master it in time to save the day?
A hard-hitting yet loving parody of the space opera genre, Spaceballs is memorable for its tongue-in-cheek performances, hilarious dialogue and sight gags.
