Planet Spaceball, led by President Skroob (Mel Brooks), has wasted all of its air and, desperate to find more, plans the extraction of all the air from planet Druidia. They plan to kidnap the Druish Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga), who is about to marry the narcoleptic Prince Valium (Jim J. Bullock). Resenting this marriage, Vespa runs off from the altar with her Droid of Honor, Dot Matrix (Joan Rivers/Lorene Yarnell), and escapes into space, where she is attacked by the Spaceballs under the command of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis).
Vespa’s father, King Roland (Dick Van Patten), hires Captain Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his mog (half-man, half dog) sidekick Barf (John Candy), who are desperate for money to pay back their debts to the Mafioso Pizza the Hutt (Dom DeLuise), to rescue his daughter. Aboard their Eagle V, Lone Starr and Barf save Vespa and Dot, and distract the Spaceballs by literally jamming a radar hub on their flagship, Spaceball One, and then escaping by entering light speed. In response, Spaceball One pursues by attempting to go faster, but end up traveling at “ludicrous speed” and overshoots Eagle V. Upon exiting hyperspeed, the heroes realize they have run out of fuel and crash-land on the desert “Moon of Vega”. There, they meet Yogurt (Mel Brooks), who introduces Lone Starr to The Schwartz and the audience to the film’s merchandising (which is prevalent throughout the film henceforth). However, the Spaceballs, having discovered their location by using an “instant cassette” of the movie, trick Vespa and capture her again, taking her to their capital city. Lone Starr and Barf rescue the Princess again, but not before the Spaceballs have succeeded in forcing King Roland to reveal the entry code to Druidia’s atmosphere (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Spaceball One, upon arriving at Planet Druidia, transforms into Mega Maid with a vacuum cleaner, which starts to extract the air from the planet. Lone Starr uses his Schwartz ring to reverse the procedure, and sneaks through Mega Maid’s ear to the central brain area of the ship to activate the self-destruct button. As he is about to press the button, Dark Helmet appears and challenges him to fight. They proceed to duel using lightsaber-like weapons emanating from their Schwartz rings, until Dark Helmet tricks Lone Starr into losing his ring. Yogurt then speaks to Lone Starr, convincing him he doesn’t need the ring to use the Schwartz. Using this advice, Lone Starr summons a mirror to reflect Dark’s attack and inadvertently press the self-destruct button, causing chaos aboard the ship as Mega Maid counts down to self-destruction. The heroes then escape as Dark Helmet, President Skroob and Col. Sandurz (George Wyner), failing to make it to any of the escape pods in time, look on in horror. The resulting explosion causes the three along with parts of Mega Maid to crash-land on a neighboring planet, much to the horror of its simian residents. Read more
