""Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 is one of the most abysmal yet entertaining films, growing in stature 25 years after its release.""
""The film became a passion project for John Travolta, who pushed for the adaptation despite Hollywood's reluctance due to its controversial themes.""
Battlefield Earth has cemented its status as a cult classic over the past 25 years, often discussed in the realm of movies that are notoriously bad yet entertaining. Adapted from L. Ron Hubbard's eponymous novel, the film faced challenges due to its controversial subject matter and the public's perception of Scientology. John Travolta championed the project but ultimately it fell into the hands of Roger Christian, resulting in a film that's simultaneously viewed as a cinematic failure and an enduring source of fascination for audiences.
