In the mid-27th century, the Terran Confederation is at war with the vicious alien Kilrathi Empire. When the Kilrathi capture a crucial navigational device that could lead them to Earth, the Confederation’s only hope rests with a small group of young fighter pilots. Lieutenant Christopher Blair, along with his wingman Todd 'Maniac' Marshall and Commander Jeanette 'Angel' Deveraux, must intercept the alien fleet and prevent the destruction of mankind. Battling overwhelming odds and racing against time, they face not only external threats but also inner fears and rivalries as they fight to save Earth from annihilation.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Excruciatingly earnest yet convictionless.

Though the ingredients are potent, their blending here mostly comes off as formulaic, humdrum and sometimes unintentionally laughable.

Wing Commander is based on a video game and has roughly the same degree of character development. That is all most moviegoers will need to know.

The plot has all the depth and originality of a video game without the fun of the interactivity.

Though this could be the meat of a good space story, the combat scenes are weak variations of the game's.
