The story focuses on the cast of Galaxy Quest, a space drama that was once a popular television series. Jason Nesmith (Allen) played the crew’s commander, Gwen DeMarco (Weaver) was the show’s sex symbol, Sir Alexander Dane (Rickman) played the ship’s alien science officer, Fred Kwan (Shalhoub) was the engineer, Tommy Webber (Mitchell) was the child pilot, and Guy Fleegman (Rockwell) played a redshirt who was killed in his only episode.
Seventeen years after the show was canceled, at a convention full of costumed Galaxy Quest fans, Jason is approached by a group of people claiming to be aliens called “Thermians” led by “Mathesar” (Colantoni), and lets them take him to what he assumes will be an amateur filming session. But the Thermians really are aliens, octopoidal creatures using “appearance generators” to make themselves appear human. Being so naïve as to have no concept of fiction, they have mistaken broadcasts of Galaxy Quest as “historical documents”, built a full-size working version of the NSEA Protector, the show’s spaceship, and invented real versions of the other technologies portrayed in the show.
The Thermians transport Jason aboard their spaceship to negotiate with Sarris (Sachs), a reptilian humanoid warlord engaged in a genocidal war against their people. Sarris demands the “Omega 13”, a device mentioned, but not used, in Galaxy Quest’s final episode. Still believing the situation is fictional, Jason orders the Thermians to attack Sarris and then insists on returning home. When the Thermians encase him in a gelatinous “pod” and send him to Earth through space, he finally realizes the ordeal was real. Jason tells his co-stars about it, and they reluctantly return with him to help the Thermians. Since the Thermians abhore all forms of untruth, the actors are obliged to assume their television roles in order to survive. Read more
