Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Spoiler
SPOILER is a movie directed by Jeff Burr in 1997.

Roger Mason has been sentenced to one year of imprisonment on the planet Omega. Roger is not guilty of any crime as he was only the witness of a robbery but nevertheless arrested by the police. Now Roger has only one idea in mind : to escape in order to see his 10 years old daughter again. He's caught and sentenced to be cryogenized for 25 years. His second escape costs him 35 years of cryogenization. Roger, who hasn't aged a bit during all those years, goes on trying to leave Omega in order to find his daughter who's now 70 years old.

--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
