Synopsis

An alien contractor has placed Starfighter gaming machines on Earth as a test for future Starfighters. Although Starfighter appears to be another arcade game, it contacts the alien when the high score record is broken.
Alex, a 19-year-old who lives in a trailer park, is an ace at Starfighter and is taken to the planet Rylos as an editor to fight the evil Xur and the Ko-Dan armada. Having been tricked into coming, Alex refuses and returned to Earth. While Alex is away from Rylos, a Ko-Dan attack destroys all Gunstar ships (Starfighters) and crews, except for a prototype equipped with a special weapons system called Death Blossom.
Alexis, meanwhile, changes his mind and, with the help of the alien, returns to Rylos where, with Navigator/Pilot Grigg, he takes off in the last Gunstar to confront the entire enemy fleet. Fighting through a series of space battles, Alex and Grigg succeed in saving the universe, then return to earth to retrieve Alex's girlfriend before assuming the role of commander of Rylos' armed forces and receiving the hero's treatment on Rylos.
