"A space adventurer agrees to save the princess of a planet named Drudia from her kidnapping by the hands of Spaceballs, led by the fierce Lord Helmet. After taking on westerns and horror films quite successfully, Mel Brooks taking on the science fiction genre was only a matter of time. Spaceballs, however, doesn't hold up with such classics as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, as its lack of pace and formulaic structure make it seem less remarkable and taint even the more creative gags."
