Yes! Battlefield Earth.
I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.

To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.

I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.

L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.

Didn’t the humans use the “learning machine” to teach themselves advanced knowledge? The same machine the alien overlords put Jonnie in to teach him their language?
Sounds like you actually know. It’s been over 2 decades since I saw that movie, but I’m sure they handwaved it with something like that.
