Plot:
Neyku, nicknamed Screech, a daring daredevil pilot, lost everything: his home, his family, but not his half-brother, Kihonja. The Empire, under the rule of a cruel tyrant, wiped his world off the face of the galaxy. Kihonja, a kind but cowardly farmer, was left terminally ill, and their parents were enslaved, destined to die in toxic mines. Neyku's rage boils, he vows revenge. Together with Kihonja, who supports him despite his illness, they take to the skies in their space fighter, to break through the blockade and challenge the tyrant in a suicidal mission.
Tyrant, the shriek of Screech heralds your end!
