Starship Troopers

Aug 30—Sep 4, 2025
    Part of
  • First As Tragedy, Then As Farce: Anti-Fascist Comedies
  • and
  • BAM Film 2025
Directed by Paul Verhoeven (1997)
With Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Clancy Brown, Michael Ironside, Patrick Muldoon, Seth Gilliam
Director Paul Verhoeven crafts a dazzling epic based on Robert A. Heinlein's classic sci-fi adventure, with Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon, and Michael Ironside playing courageous soldiers dispatched to the desolate Klendathu system for a showdown between the species. Initially dismissed as violent and vapid, Verhoeven’s sci-fi satire with time has proven to be a darkly insightful commentary on US imperialism.
