Q:

The Last Starfighter (1984)

A small-town teen discovers his favorite arcade game is secretly a test to recruit starship pilots for an intergalactic war. Pure wish fulfillment and joy — 80s optimism at hyperspeed. The early CGI looks quaint now, but the story still hits every dreamer’s heart.

Rating: 4/5
