"Hallo and welcome to 'Standby... Lights! Camera! Action!' I am Leonard Nimoy. Our show is all about making movies. We take you to soundstages all over the world. Anywhere films are made- we are there. And here we are on our own soundstage. And we have lots of movie-making magic for you:  If I told you that David challenged Joshua to a match, you'd probably think that two friends are gonna play tennis. Well... not if I am talking about a film: 'War Games'. High school student David Lightman challenges the Defense Department computer 'Joshua' to a global thermonuclear war.

For all the sword and sorcery adventure fans this is a must-see: 'Krull'. 'Krull' is a planet that has been split by two sons and has been torn by war for opposing kingdoms battle for supremacy. Those kingdoms must now unite to face an even greater menace: The Beast with it's evil army.

Come with us for a special look at a very special movie: 'Dream One", being filmed not an a soundstage nor on location but under a huge plastic bubble in France. 'Dream One' is a film about magic and fantasy, dreams and reality.  As you can tell from the movies we just previewed, we take you behind the scenes of high-budget, very popular motion pictures.

But film-makers don't just appear out of thin air. Today the publisher of Cinematic Magazine is going to tell us about a contest that will be a real stepping stone for a young film-maker. We'll also meet two contest winners and see highlights of their winning work." ...
