Galaxy Quest
Galaxy Quest is a
1999 movie parodying
Star Trek, starring
Tim Allen,
Sigourney Weaver and
Alan Rickman. This movie is about the washed-up stars of a
Star Trek-like TV series called
Galaxy Quest who find themselves in a real Galaxy Quest-esque setting, thanks to some aliens who, never having heard of
fiction, believed the show to be "historical documents" and duplicated the
technology.
This movie parodied everything from the technology of Star Trek to the Star Trek conventions. The parody is mostly friendly, and was widely appreciated by science fiction fans. The movie won the Hugo Award for best science fiction movie of the year.
