"Starcrash" is a science fiction movie released in 1978. It was directed by Luigi Cozzi and stars Caroline Munro, Marjoe Gortner, and David Hasselhoff. The movie is considered to be a "B-movie" or a low-budget film that was made primarily for entertainment value.
The plot of the movie revolves around the search for a powerful weapon called the "Stellar Converter" which has the ability to destroy entire planets. The main character is Stella Star, played by Caroline Munro, who is a space smuggler hired by the Emperor of the Galaxy to find the weapon before it falls into the hands of the evil Count Zarth Arn, played by Joe Spinell.
Along the way, Stella is accompanied by her sidekick Akton, played by Marjoe Gortner, and they encounter various obstacles and enemies in their quest to find the weapon. The movie features various space battles, laser fights, and special effects, which were considered impressive at the time.
Despite being a B-movie, "Starcrash" has gained a cult following over the years due to its cheesy dialogue, over-the-top acting, and campy visual effects. It has been compared to other science fiction movies of the time such as "Star Wars" and "Flash Gordon" and is often seen as a humorous tribute to the science fiction genre.
