For four years, the courageous crew of the NSEA protector — ‘Commander Peter Quincy Taggart’ (Tim Allen), ‘Lt. Tawny Madison (Sigourney Weaver) and ‘Dr.Lazarus’ (Alan Rickman) — set off on a thrilling and often dangerous mission in space, and then their series was cancelled!  Now, 20 years later, aliens under attack have mistaken the Galaxy Quest television transmissions for historical documents and beam up the crew of has-been actors to save the universe.  With no script, no director and no clue, the actors must turn in the performances of their lives.

A parody of and homage to science-fiction films and series, especially Star Trek and its fandom, the film won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Nebula Award for Best Script.  It was also nominated for 10 Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film and Best Director for Parisot, Best Actress for Weaver, and Best Supporting Actor for Rickman, with Allen winning Best Actor.

“A sparkling blend of sci-fi and comedy that affectionately spoofs every Star Trek cliche known to man, Romulan, or Klingon.” – Neil Smith, BBC.com

“Everyone has their own specific definition of comfort food. Dean Parisot’s pitch-perfect send-up/embrace of Star Trek fandom sits near the top of my list.” – Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
