Starship Troopers, directed by Paul Verhoeven, is a satirical military science fiction action film based on Robert A. Heinlein's novel of the same name. In a futuristic society, young citizens join the military to fight in an interstellar war against an alien species of giant insect-like creatures known as "Arachnids" or "Bugs." The film follows high school graduate Johnny Rico and his friends as they endure brutal training and face the horrors of war.
Did You Know?
The film is a stark departure from Heinlein's novel, using a satirical tone to critique militarism, fascism, and jingoism, which was not always immediately apparent to all viewers upon its release. The "Bug" creatures were created using a combination of CGI and practical effects. Many of the actors, including Casper Van Dien (Johnny Rico), Denise Richards (Carmen Ibanez), and Neil Patrick Harris (Carl Jenkins), were relatively unknown at the time. The film's propaganda-style newsreels, "Would You Like to Know More?", are a key element of its satirical commentary.
