This big-budget science fiction
adventure centers on a final battle between good and evil for control of the
world. In the year 3000, Earth is ruled by the Psyclos, a vicious alien race
of which Terl (John Travolta) is a member, that has laid waste to the
planet, killed the majority of the population, and stripped Earth of its
valuable resources. Pockets of resistance remain among the surviving humans;
Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler (Barry Pepper) is one such rebel, living in hiding in
the mountains near Boulder, CO. Eventually, Johnny begins organizing
like-minded humans for a final stand against the Psyclos. The film is based
on the novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction author also known as the
founder of the Church of Scientology; it covers only the first half of the
book, saving the remainder for a possible sequel. Battlefield Earth also
stars Forest Whitaker, Kim Coates, and Kelly Preston.| John Travolta | Terl |
