‘Rico, what’s the moral difference – if any – between a civilian and a citizen?’
This question that Radczek asks during the Civics class towards the beginning of the movie, is the key difference between the intent of the book and message of the movie – but we’ll come back to that later.

Starship Troopers
Starship troopers was released in 1997 and was directed by Paul Verhoeven (who also gave us the original Robocop and Total Recall) and adapted into a screenplay by screenwriter Edward Neumeier. The movie did well at the box office, grossing $121 million worldwide, and since it has amassed a large cult following. 3 sequels were also made, but with lesser budgets and even lesser interest, the films did not do as well as the original.
It’s the original I would like to discuss with you today, and how the two minds who adapted this story from its source material came to very different conclusions about the world in which it is set.
