In the distant future, mankind has reached the stars... but something is out there waiting for them. Now the armed forces of Earth blast off to battle a race of giant alien insects, and a small platoon of men and women must confront their fears, as well as the savage, brain-sucking creatures. Director Paul Verhoeven's rousing (and violent) filming of the Robert A. Heinlein novel stars Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, Neil Patrick Harris. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
