A NASA spacecraft proves Einstein right when, traveling faster than light, it ends up near King Arthur's Camelot. On board are big-hearted Tom Trimble and Hermes, the look-alike robot he built. Tom immediately makes friends with pretty Alisande while becoming enemies with the evil knight Sir Mordred. It seems Mordred has joined up with the Sorcerer Merlin and they are both up to no good.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the cheerful clash of eras, relying on slapstick and visual gags. It explores the Arthurian legend through a lens of wide-eyed, family-friendly sci-fi, where lasers meet lances.

What lingers after the credits is the charm of its simple, good-hearted conflict. Those who tire of cynicism will find gentle, uncomplicated joy here — MovieFinder Editorial
