After the surprise and smash hits of RoboCop and Total Recall, Paul Verhoeven's career in Hollywood took a hit following the flop of Showgirls. In order to get things back on track, he once again ventured into the science fiction genre with Starship Troopers. Though an adaptation of the Robert A Heinlein novel, Verhoeven's take on the themes of the book resulted in a much different political message in the movie. Nevertheless it would form the final chapter of the Paul Verhoeven Sci-Fi Masterpiece Trilogy!
