Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam aka The Man Who Saved the World is a 1982 Turkish science fantasy adventure film also known as ‘Turkish Star Wars’ because of its notorious use of unauthorized footage from Star Wars and other movies worked into the film. The musical soundtrack is entirely lifted from popular hit movies. The main theme used is “The Raiders March” from Raiders of the Lost Ark, while other scenes incorporate the music of Moonraker, Ben-Hur, Flash Gordon, Giorgio Moroder’s version of Battlestar Galactica, Planet of the Apes, Silent Running, Moses and Disney’s Black Hole.
Upon its initial release, the film was panned by critics for its incoherent story line and poor performances, but has gained a significant cult following over the years. Recently remastered in 2K from the last remaining 35mm print, it can now be enjoyed in all its HD glory! So set your phasers to “fun” and join us for a 40th anniversary screening of one of the most unique cinematic experiences of all time, bad or otherwise!
PLEASE NOTE: all profits will go to the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal.
