STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE
The original that started it all follows Luke Skywalker as he teams with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, cocky pilot Han Solo, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy and rescue Princess Leia from the evil Darth Vader. Among the many factors that went into the movie magic of George Lucas' history-making, paradigm-shifting, swashbuckling space adventure were John Williams' heroic fanfares, harkening back to the music of Hollywood's Golden Age. Also, the authoritative screen presence of Alec Guinness, a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® nominee for his iconic turn as Kenobi, leading a cast of young unknowns including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. The film won six Oscars®, counting Williams' third statue for Best Original Score. DIR/SCR George Lucas; PROD Gary Kurtz, Rick McCallum. U.S., 1977/1997, color, 121 min. RATED PG
