Planet Spaceball's President Skroob sends Lord Dark Helmet to steal Planet Druidia's abundant supply of air to replenish their own, and only Lone Starr can stop them.
Another spoof from the mind of Mel Brooks. This time he's out to poke fun at the Dracula myth. Basically, he took "Bram Stoker's Dracula," gave it a new cast and a new script and made a big joke out of it. The usual, rich English are attacked by Dracula and Dr. Van Helsing is brought in to save the day. Written by

This was the second Mel Brooks film I ever watched, and I
positively reeled in laughter watching it. I do not understand how
this movie only achieves a 4.5 rating.
Among the many memorable moments there are several downright hysterical gags: when Dracula slips in the bat poop
trying to walk down the stairs, when Harker drives the stake and is
drenched in blood, when Dracula rises from his coffin and bashes
his head on the chandelier...the list goes on and on.
Also, Harvey Korman was extremely funny as the bumbling,
blubbering Dr Seward; as was Mel Brooks as Dr Van Helsing, and
Leslie Nielson as Dracula.
I give it 9/10.
