Star Wars: A New Hope

Whisking us to a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas' sci-fi vision tells the story of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), a farm boy from a forgotten planet who becomes a key figure in the rebellion against the evil Empire that threatens to sweep the universe. Aided by an old Jedi mentor (Alec Guinness), Luke sets out on an adventure that sees him befriend robots, royalty and a menagerie of rogues on his way to confronting the darkest forces in the universe. Essentially taking a traditional western and setting it in space, Lucas blew the movie world away with a supernova of exhilarating action, unforgettable characters, and ground-breaking special effects.
