Slipstream (1989 film)
''Slipstream'' is a 1989 science fiction film directed by Steven Lisberger, who had previously directed the cult classic 1982 science fiction film ''Tron''. It was produced by Gary Kurtz, best known for his collaboration with George Lucas on the first two ''Star Wars'' films and ''American Graffiti''. ''Slipstream'' reunited Kurtz with his ''Star Wars'' lead Mark Hamill, who features alongside Bill Paxton, Bob Peck and Kitty Aldridge, with cameo appearances from Robbie Coltrane, Ben Kingsley and F. Murray Abraham.
==Production background==
''Slipstream'' was the second feature Gary Kurtz made as a producer after splitting from his former creative partner George Lucas. Kurtz's early production credits included the films ''Chandler'' and Monte Hellman's cult road movie ''Two Lane Blacktop'' (1971). He then began his hugely successful collaboration with George Lucas by producing Lucas' commercial breakthrough, the low-budget ''American Graffiti'' (1973), which went on to become one of the most profitable films of all time. Kurtz then produced, worked as a second-unit director, and played a major creative role in the first two Star Wars films, but the partnership ended acrimoniously in the interval between ''Empire'' and the third instalment of the series, ''Return of the Jedi'', when Lucas and Kurtz fell out over the creative and commercial direction of the franchise.
Following the acrimonious split with Lucas, Kurtz acted as executive producer on the fantasy film ''Return to Oz'', which was not a commercial success. He returned to commercial favour as the producer of the hit fantasy film ''The Dark Crystal'' in 1982. He evidently hoped that he could recapture his earlier success in science fiction with ''Slipstream'', which co-starred popular actors from three of the major sci-fi franchises of the period - Hamill from ''Star Wars'', and Paxton from ''Aliens''. However, in spite of the many prominent names involved, including Kurtz, the cast, and distinguished Hollywood composer Elmer Bernstein, ''Slipstream'' proved to be a disastrous financial and critical flop. Its failure reportedly drove Kurtz into bankruptcy, and as a result, the film is now in the public domain.
