Star Pilot (2+5 Missione Hydra)

Blu-ray Releases | Jul 4, 2023

Kino Lorber, Raro Video

A 1966 kitschy sci-fi extravaganza recently restored in 4K, director Pietro Francisci’s Star Pilot – originally titled 2+5 Missione Hydra – is a wildly colorful adventure through the vastness of space.

Aliens from the constellation Hydra crash-land on the island of Sardinia. A prominent scientist, his daughter, several young technicians, and a pair of spies are taken hostage by the beings so they can use them to repair their spaceship’s broken engine. With that done, they take off towards their home planet, taking the Earthlings with them. However, the humans attempt to mutiny against their captors, inadvertently sending their tiny spaceship hurtling into the infinite beyond.

Star Pilot stars Leonora Ruffo, Mario Novelli, Roland Lesaffre, Kirk Morris and Mirella Pamphili.
