The Last Starfighter

Alex Rogan lives in a trailer park with his mother Jane Rogan and his younger brother Louis. Alex is a handyman that helps his neighbors in small tasks. He is waiting for a loan so that he can attend university and move with his girlfriend Maggie Gordon to the city. However, Alex receives a letter informing that his request of a student loan has been denied. When Alex breaks the record of the Starfighter video game, he is visited by a man named Centauri that informs him that he works in the company that manufactures the game and invites him to a ride in his sports car. Alex soon learns that Centauri's car is a spacecraft and the Starfighter game is actually a test to find skilled warriors to protect the Star League against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada. Alex arrives on the planet Rylos but he refuses the invitation. Alex returns to his home and finds that he is hunted by alien agents sent by Xur to kill him. He summons Centauri and learns that all the starfighters have been killed in a treacherous attack on the Starfighter base. Alex and his partner Grig are now the last chance to avoid the invasion of the cruel warlord Xur.
