| - Battlefield Earth is a science fiction adventure film released in the year 2000. It is famous for being critically lambasted and becoming a box office bomb.
- Battlefield Earth, released in over 3000 theatres world-wide in the year 2000, is a movie starring and financed by John Travolta, based upon the first half of Scientology's God-on-Earth, L. Ron Hubbard - a religion Travolta himself is a prominent member of. Below is the opinion of one Urban dictionary user. The movie's plot takes place on Earth, circa 3000 CE, when the planet has been conquered by a bunch of right-wing conservative aliens, led by Travolta, and the efforts of the few remaining humans to fight against the alien horde's seemingly insurmountable power.
- The film version of L. Ron Hubbard's Science Fiction novel Battlefield Earth was released in the U.S. in the year 2000, directed by Roger Christian and starring John Travolta as Psychlo leader Terl (he originally wanted to play the part of the book's hero, Jonnie "Goodboy" Tyler, but that role eventually went to Barry Pepper). Travolta had wanted to do the film for a long time, but had trouble securing money for it because of studios' apprehension to bankroll the film due to its connections with the Church of Scientology. He later poured most of his own money into the project and signed on as a co-producer, and the rest...well, is history.

| - Battlefield Earth, released in over 3000 theatres world-wide in the year 2000, is a movie starring and financed by John Travolta, based upon the first half of Scientology's God-on-Earth, L. Ron Hubbard - a religion Travolta himself is a prominent member of. Below is the opinion of one Urban dictionary user. The movie's plot takes place on Earth, circa 3000 CE, when the planet has been conquered by a bunch of right-wing conservative aliens, led by Travolta, and the efforts of the few remaining humans to fight against the alien horde's seemingly insurmountable power. Arguably the worst movie in History. John Travolta produced and starred in this monumental piece of dung because it's based on a novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and Johnny boy is one of several Hollywood celebities brainwashed by the Scientology creepos. The movie was universally panned by the critics, with most claiming it possessed no redeeming features of any kind; it also failed financially, damaging the careers of many.

After MGM and Fox Studios turned down offers to distribute the film, it was eventually picked up by Franchise Pictures, a company known for helping stars rescue their troubled pet projects. To this day, it has yet to gross 30 million USD--its budget was 44 million. Has the dubious honor of winning the Razzie for Worst Movie of the 2000s.
