Dark Star (2 disc) (Import)

Director John Carpenter's first feature, begun when he was a film student, has become a cult favourite. Seen as a parody of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey', this film tells the story of four space-weary astronauts (and their alien mascot) on an extended mission to blow up unstable planets. Meanwhile, an electronic forcefield has altered the programming of their bomb.
