Often known overseas as the “Turkish Star Wars,” “The Man Who Saves the World” (Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam) gained infamy for its incoherent plot, poor acting, poor special effects and unabashed stealing of scenes and music from the original American “Star Wars.” The story follows two heroes, Yeşilçam legend Cüneyt Arkın and Aytekin Akkaya, who set off on a journey through space in their spaceships to protect the world against unknown powers. Later they, crash-land on an alien world (Cappadocia) that is ruled by a malevolent, wizard.
