Set in the future, the story follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry. Rico's military career progresses from recruit to non-commissioned officer and finally to officer against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and an arachnoid species known as "the Bugs."
Editor's Verdict
"Starship Troopers is a military science fiction action film entirely focused on interstellar war. The only connection noted is 'Holiday Release,' which relates to its distribution schedule, not the narrative content. All criteria regarding setting, plot, themes, iconography, and resolution score 'None' or 'Weak' at best, indicating it is not a Christmas movie."
