A trio of Bond stars - Richard Kiel ("Jaws"), Corrine Cléry (Moonraker) and Barbara Bach (The Spy Who Loved Me) - are insipidly called into action for this Italian Star Wars variant directed by Late Night Trains gore-maestro Aldo Lado. Mad scientist Arthur Kennedy and his girlfriend Bach want to conquer the universe but invincible humanoid Kiel prevents him with the help of dwarf guru Marco Yeh and a robot dog. More a cheap Battlestar Galactic riff than anything George Lucas inspired, Lado's leaden direction fluffs any outrageous pantomime enjoyment that could have been gleaned. Ennio Morricone's avant-garde electronic score is one of the composers most unusual.

Hoping to overthrow his brother as ruler of the planet Metropolis, the evil Graal enlists the help of the insane Dr. Kraspin, who has invented a chemical capable of turning an ordinary person into a perfect soldier. They test this chemical on the pilot Golob, turning the unsuspecting victim into a mindless but indestructible automaton possessing superhuman strength. The people of Metropolis must somehow outwit Graal before he can create an army of these soldiers, or their planet will be destroyed.
