Boldly going where no man has gone before, the starship Pushkin finds an abandoned vessel filled with the decaying bodies of humanoids and one surviving member of the crew, a gynoid named Niya who seeks the help of earthlings to restore her severely polluted home planet. Unabashedly pitched to to a teenage audience, this delirious space adventure features bionic women, cosmic mercenaries, and the most embarrassing guy-in-a-suit robot to never utter "Danger, Will Robinson." After the fall of the USSR, To the Stars by Hard Ways became a cult hit among the Russian hipster set and in 2001 it was fully restored by the director's son.
