Moontrap is a science fiction film that was released in 1988. The movie stars Walter Koenig, Bruce Campbell, and Leigh Lombardi. The movie is based on the premise that an ancient spaceship from Earth is discovered on the moon, which leads to a race to claim the ship for various purposes. The spaceship, discovered on the moon, is initially believed to be an alien vessel. However, after closer inspection, it is discovered that the ship predates any aliens, and is in fact a ship from Earth that was sent out in search of extraterrestrial life. It was lost in space for thousands of years until it was finally discovered on the moon. The discovery of the spacecraft leads to a team of astronauts being sent to the moon to investigate it further.

The main characters in the movie are Ray Tanner (played by Walter Koenig) and Rex (played by Bruce Campbell). Ray Tanner is an old astronaut who has been retired for years, but he is brought back into the fold to help with the mission to the moon. Rex is a technician who is eager to explore the alien spacecraft and uncover its secrets. Leigh Lombardi plays the character of Dr. Sarah Fowler, who is the head of the mission to the moon.

Once the team of astronauts reaches the moon, they encounter unexpected challenges. They find that the moon is inhabited by robots who are guarding the ship. The robots are highly advanced and have the ability to repair themselves. They are also highly aggressive and will attack anything that comes near the ship. The astronauts are able to defeat the robots and gain access to the ship.

Inside the ship, the astronauts are surprised to find that it is mostly empty. There is no sign of any aliens or any other living creatures. However, they do find something unexpected. They find a chamber that contains a human body in suspended animation. The body is that of a beautiful woman, who appears to be from ancient Egypt. The team brings the body back to Earth for further study.

As the investigation continues, it becomes clear that the ancient spaceship has the ability to create life. It is believed that the woman in suspended animation is intended to be the first of a new race of humans who will populate the universe. The discovery of the ship and the woman lead to a race between various parties who want to claim the ship for their own purposes.

Moontrap is a unique movie that combines various elements of science fiction. The movie is visually stunning, with the moon landscapes and spacecraft designs amazing. The performances of the actors are also great, with Walter Koenig standing out in particular. His character, Ray Tanner, is a grizzled veteran who has seen it all before. He is the voice of reason in a world that is full of chaos and uncertainty.

Overall, Moontrap is an entertaining sci-fi movie that is worth watching. The movie has a unique storyline that will keep viewers engaged throughout. The movie is a must-see for anyone who loves science fiction and wants to see a movie that combines elements of suspense, drama, and action.
