01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The cast members of the canceled space-adventure television series ''Galaxy Quest'' spend most of their days attending fan conventions and promotional stunts. Though the series' former lead star Jason Nesmith thrives on the attention, the other cast members Gwen DeMarco, Alexander Dane, Fred Kwan and Tommy Webber resent Nesmith's irresponsible, self-serving attitude.
