Laserhawk is a 1998 Canadian science fiction film directed by Jean Pellerin and starring Jason James Richter, Melissa Galianos, Gordon Currie and Mark Hamill. It concerns two teenagers who must team up with a comic book writer and a mental patient to save mankind from destruction at the hands of aliens. More ambitious than the average Canadian-shot genre film at the time, it had a troubled production and only saw a late, small screen release.
