Pure schlocky B-movie. Danny Freemont (Casper van Dien) is a down on his luck archeologist who runs afoul of a world dominiation seeking group call the Hellfire Counsel shortly after World War I. It seems there are pieces of a mystical emarald tablet that are strewn about the earth and Danny seems to be the only one who can track them down only to see them stolen by the Hellfire goons as soon as he unearths them. Once united, the pieces will reform the tablet and give the possesor untold power, etc. And the last bit is hidden somewhere in King Tut’s Tomb.

Starship Troopers is a 1997 film adaptation of the classic Robert A. Heinlein Hugo Award winning 1959 novel. Set in a future where the world is run by a somewhat fascist government, Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) elects to join the “Federal Service” largely to impress a girl. After signing up, he finds himself in a war against giant bugs (no one ever bothers with the pesky “square-cube law“). And then there’s Neil Patrick Harris as his psychic buddy who goes into military intelligence.
