Synopsis
The High Crusade (1994) is a German sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Holger Neuhäuser and Klaus Knoesel, with John Rhys-Davies leading a band of medieval crusaders who accidentally end up in space.
The premise: an alien scout ship lands in medieval England, the knights capture it, and set course for the Holy Land. They arrive instead on a hostile alien planet ruled by the very species they just overpowered. Rhys-Davies keeps a perfectly straight face throughout — which is, of course, the joke.
Monty Python-flavored low-budget adventure that commits to its single absurd premise from first scene to last. Not a parody winking at the audience — the crusaders are completely earnest, and that sincerity is what makes it work. Stream The High Crusade online on iFILM.
