About this product

Product Information

It's the year 3000, and Earth is under the dominion of the Psychos from planet Psychlo, a race of nine-foot-tall aliens intent on strip-mining the planet and using the remaining scraps of backward humanity (which they call Man-Animals) as slave labor. Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler (Barry Pepper) is an ambitious young man who decides to explore the region beyond his home, to learn more about the monsters who have taken over his world. Terl (John Travolta), head of Psychlo Security, is ready to leave the backwater planet, but when he is denied a promotion he schemes to make himself wealthy and powerful. Terl comes across Jonnie and decides the human's above-average intelligence is just what he needs, educating him and letting him loose to mine gold in an isolated region. Jonnie must take this opportunity to try to destroy the Psychlos and free humanity from oppression, with only the help of the other disorganized tribes still existing on planet Earth, and with Terl watching his every move. BATTLEFIELD EARTH is an action-packed sci-fi movie based on the best-seller by L. Ron Hubbard, which Travolta (who both starred in the movie and produced it) had wanted to make into a movie for more than 15 years.

  • Battlefield Earth Epic Must See

    Top notch acting by Travolta And Whittaker, Travolta's evil laugh is like music to your ears. This is Forrest Whittaker's break out role for which he will always be remembered for-fondly. Th use of Dutch angles made you feel like you were right there, I found myself leaning left or right in my chair to maintain my sense of balance. No plot holes, everything explained thoroughly but in a way that lets the story follow smoothly and keep your attention. I hope they adapt this for 3D or make a sequel, that would be awesome!

  • A good Sci-Fi with a lot of detail that is overlooked by many veiwers.

    This movie failed at the box office. However, I thought it was a very entertaining movie with some great acting. I had seen this movie when it first came out and remembered it to be entertaining so I searched online to purchase it. Some people may think it's a bit corny, but all in all the story line is deeper than just action. Rather than subtitles they do appear to speak in English when in fact they are not at times. This may be a factor in how it was received I don't know, but I enjoy the movie enough to want it in my video library.

  • Better second time around.

    I saw this movie when it came out -- to poor reviews. And I wasn't too impressed myself. But since I had just finished reading the book, very dated but still interesting, I wanted to see the movie again. And since my expectations were low, I enjoyed it much more this time around. Even my wife liked it.

  • Battlefield Earth review

    Humans on the verge of extinction. One rebel leads the rag-tag survivors into battle against the tyranny leaders of the planet. Good adventure and action. Not for young viewers.

  • Decent science fiction.

    Although critically bashed and I'm not really a fan of Scientology, I and others thought the movie was very underrated, decent sci-fi.
