A corporation which has been taken over by nefarious entities is hacked from an unlikely direction.

A classic. Some of the graphics hold up, but it's mostly dated. It's still fun.

A bad dad and some shitty kids run away when aliens come down and up and stomp around.

While it's a great ride, it's ultimately unsatisfying and can't be recommended.

A handful of Nazi scientists have toiled in secret to find and use a ring kept by some Americans in Egypt which they believe leads to an advanced civilization.

A rehash of other ideas done in a somewhat more amateur way, with a cheap ending as a prequel to either the original movie or series. Interesting to watch if you're a fan of the franchise but absolutely skippable if you're not.
