In the not too distant future, where by far the most precious commodity in the galaxy is water. The last surviving water planet was somehow removed to the unreachable centre of the galaxy at the end of the galactic trade wars. The galaxy is ruled by an evil emperor presiding over a trade oligarchy that controls all mining and sale of ice from asteroids and comets.

THE VERDICT
Synthesized from published reviews
This delightfully cheesy space adventure blends Star Wars sci-fi with pirate tropes, featuring Robert Urich leading a ragtag crew hunting for water in a dry galaxy. Filled with bizarre gags, space rapiers, and robotic antics, it wears its low-budget campiness like a badge of honor. It is an endearingly ridiculous eighties b-movie that sci-fi enthusiasts can easily enjoy.
