The laughs come at 'ludicrous speed' in Mel Brooks' outrageous sci-fi spoof that takes you to a galaxy far, far funnier than you ever imagined. When ruthless President Skroob (Brooks) plots to steal the air supply from neighboring planet Druida, it's up to hero-for-hire Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his man-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) to rescue a spoiled Druish princess (Daphne Zuniga) from the clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). Along the way, they meet the wise Yogurt (Brooks again!), who teaches them the mystical secrets of 'The Schwartz' and the almighty power of movie merchandising!
