Marek Piestrak's film "Test Pilot Pirxa" happens to be one of the most challenging science fiction films made by an East European communist nation.It is based on a story by acclaimed science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem whose novel "Solaris" was made into a film by legendary Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky.This film features a furiously intense clash between robots and human beings.The action takes place on a spacecraft commanded by a pilot named Pirx.He does everything in his capacity to prevent his crew from the dangers caused by some intelligent robots.It is the only film which set out to see answers to the intriguing question : "Can robots replace human beings" ? Some element of suspense is created in the film when the identity of robot on board the spacecraft is not revealed. Test Pilot Pirxa is a landmark film for Polish cinema as it was for the first time that futuristic sets were created for a Polish film.This was done to give a Hollywood kind of feel to this film.
