Description

Paul Verhoeven’s provocative adaptation of Robert Heinlein’s 1959 novel plays ironic games with fascist ideology while delivering brilliantly constructed action scenes and eye-popping special effects.  In a future society dominated by the military elite, buff young recruits gear up to save Earth from an invasion force of gigantic bugs. (MR) Screened in 2006 as part of Science Fiction Lecture Series with Professor Jim Trainer.
