In this undistinguished parody of the sci-fi genre, Robert Urich is Jason, who leads a band of pirates in redistributing the wealth of the few to the coffers of the needy. He also joins up with Princess Karina Mary Crosby in searching for her father and a possible source of water in the next galaxy. Meant to be a campy romp, the film stops short of achieving a goal that should have been effortless. -- Eleanor Mannikka
