About The Son of the Stars
In the year 6470, a husband and wife team of explorers receive a mysterious distress signal from an astronaut who disappeared decades earlier. They leave their son on board their ship while they go searching for the missing astronaut — but fate intervenes, crash-landing the ship on a jungle-like planet populated by bulbous, telekinetic aliens and eerie stone gardens of frozen space creatures.
Directed by Mircea Toia, Călin Cazan, The Son of the Stars leans on a strong ensemble — Ion Caramitru, Mihai Cafrița, Virgil Ogășanu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1988.
