THE SHOW WAS CANCELLED ...
BUT THE ADVENTURE HAS ONLY BEGUN
"Never give up, never
surrender!"
They're not astronauts they only
played them on TV.
For four seasons, from 1979 to 1982, the crew of the NSEA Protector donned
their uniforms and set out on thrilling and often dangerous missions in
space - then their series was canceled. Nearly twenty years later, the
five stars of the classic sci-fi series "Galaxy Quest" are still
in costume, making appearances at science fiction conventions for legions
of faithful fans ... but some of those fans have a little too much faith.
The Thermians, a race of aliens from the Klatu Nebula, have mistaken
intercepted television transmissions of the show for "historical
documents." Arriving on earth at a convention, they whisk
"Commander Peter Quincy Taggart" and his crew into space to help
them defeat an all-too-real and very deadly adversary.
With no script, no director, and no clue about real space travel, the
actors have to turn in the performances of their lives to become the
heroes the Thermians believe them to be.
