Sometime in the future, the struggle for space superiority has forced humanity to desperately search the cosmos for a rare element that is a key ingredient in neutron bomb construction. And everyone knows, whoever controls the neutron bomb, controls the fate of the universe. An enterprising space captain named Larry Madison (Vassili Karis) is tasked with tracking down a lead to a planet rich with said element, a mission he manages to squeeze in between frequent bar-fights and random sexual encounters. Marina Hedman and Venantino Venantini co-star in this jaw-dropping intergalactic epic that combines the immortal ‘80s Italian genres of sleazy sci-fi and depraved sexual saga. —myduckisdead.com

Director

Alfonso Brescia

Alfonso Brescia (6 January 1930 – 6 June 2001) was an Italian film director of low budget films, sometimes credited as Al Bradley or Al Bradly. Film buffs mainly know him for the 4 low budget sci-fi films he hurriedly directed in 1977-78 to capitalize on the success of “Star Wars”. He directed “Ator 3” in 1986 without the serie’s originator Joe D’Amato’s permission, and D’Amato later said that he considered the “Ator” series only consisting of films # 1, 2 and 4 (all of which D’Amato directed himself). —wikipedia
