“There is a sci-fi space adventure from the 1980s that is a must-see but can’t currently be streamed anywhere.”

So why are you telling about us about it then?

Discuss Spacecamp below - it neatly into the ‘kids take over the world’ subgenre of '80s films.

    I’m going to date myself here I think about this movie from time to time. As a kid I really wanted to go to space and this movie showed me it was “possible” and kept me dreaming. The only shame is that it was completely overshadowed by the space shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred around it’s release.

    I actually found this over the lockdowns because I did remember it and wanted my kids to see it. What I had forgotten about was the terrible robot mascot thing that they crammed into the beginning and tried to make a part of the movie for no reason.

    i remember this movie. i saw it in the theater. it was terrible unless you were 8-10 years old.

    a tour robot befriends a kid and sends him and his classmates to space in what was supposed to be a mock take off. such a terrible, non-plausible script
