AT THE END OF THE GAME, THE KING AND THE PAWN GO INTO THE SAME BOX
5 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The story begins at the space academy where a group of privileged teens train to fight the "insurgents" a group of "over taxed farmers" as cadet Thomas Lasky (Tom Green) puts it. He has trouble with cryo-sleep as it makes him violently ill. He also has a love interest in Silva (Anna Popplewell, Queen of Narnia). The film centers around the character of Lasky and his relationship with his fellow students as well as his medical condition.

The students realize something isn't right. When the academy is attacked, they must all man up.

This is part of a series. As a stand alone film, it makes little sense as the background information is provided in bits and pieces. This is geared toward a teen/ young adult audience, having the feel of "Starship Troopers" with its over the top military propaganda speeches.

Rated TV-14, although outside of the violence, it could very well be PG. One co-ed locker room scene with girl in bra top. One use of "D" male member word.
