Alex Rogan is a teenager living in a trailer park with his mother and younger brother, Louis. After being rejected for a scholarship application, Alex becomes angry at his go-nowhere existence. The only entertainment in the trailer park comes from an arcade game, called "Starfighter", in which the player defends "the Frontier" from Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada in a space battle. After Alex becomes the game's highest-scoring player, he is approached by the game's inventor, Centauri, who invites him to take a ride in his fancy car as a prize for winning the game. Centauri is actually an alien and his car a spacecraft; Alex is essentially abducted, and a doppelganger android (robot) named Beta is used to cover Alex's absence.
                                                                     
                                    
                        Whizzkid Alex Rogan (Guest) leeft in een caravanpark. Hij verslaat het Starfighter-videospel tot applaus van iedereen. Hierdoor trekt hij de aandacht van Centauri, die hem voorstelt zijn kunsten met het videospel te gebruiken in een gevecht om het heelal te redden van een invasie.
                                                                     
                                    
                        Depois de alcançar a pontuação máxima do seu jogo de videogame favorito, o Starfighter, o adolescente Alex Rogan finalmente conhece o seu criador, Centauri, que revela que o jogo foi criado para treinar e recrutar pilotos para uma batalha espacial. Em um planeta alienígena distante, Alex tem dificuldades para usar suas habilidades de jogador de videogame em uma aventura real, especialmente quando vidas estão em perigo.
