An American Saga

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2003)

This is probably one of the greatest science fiction films in the history of the cinema. However, it is more than a a science fiction film. This film has elements from westerns, historical epics, Saturday morning serials and, due to the scenes with C3PO an R2D2, Laurel and Hardy films. The main thing that makes this film a classic is the fact that, when it comes right down to it, this film is nothing more than a old fashioned fable that all ages can enjoy. No wonder it has gotten the near religious standing that it has achieved over the years. This film is definitely one of the classic films of the 1970's.
