Set in the year 3000, Battlefield Earth depicts a dystopian world where humanity has been enslaved by a race of cruel alien warriors called Psychlos for a thousand years. A rebellious human named Jonnie Goodboy Tyler rises up to lead a revolution against their oppressive ruler Terl, using the aliens' own knowledge and technology against them.
