Description of Funko POP! Movies Starship Troopers Warrior Bug 51943
The film, belonging to the genre of military fiction, describes the space war between earthlings and insect-like aliens - "arachnids". Its main character Johnny Rico joins the ranks of the Starship Troopers and, participating in battles with the Arachnids on other planets, goes from private to officer. Although the film borrows from the novel the names of the characters and a number of plot moves, in general mood it differs from the literary source: if some critics accused Heinlein's novel of promoting militarism and even fascist ideology, then the film, according to Verhoeven's plan, was supposed to be satirical, anti-war in nature.
