A Cult Classic Returns
The original Spaceballs was a parody of major sci-fi franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, and The Wizard of Oz.
It followed the adventures of Lone Starr and his sidekick Barf as they attempted to rescue Princess Vespa from the villainous Spaceballs, delivering a mix of satire, slapstick, and pop culture humour.

With a legacy cast, fresh creative team, and nostalgic appeal, Spaceballs 2 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated comedy releases of 2027.
