Plot

In 2044, after advanced artificially-intelligent robots drain the earth of its natural resources, leaving nothing but a husk of a planet, humanity is forced to escape into space to fight for survival. A Chinese clone of Donald Trump survives the planet's destruction by escaping the maximum-security laboratory where he is kept and stowing away on the very last shuttle headed to space.

Trump's clone's ship crashes on Mars, leaving him alone for 999 years, which he spends joyriding in a Mars rover. Meanwhile, what is left of humanity does battle with an alien race known as the Illuminati. Upon discovering that he is prophesized to destroy the Illuminati, the Trump clone joins forces with the surviving humans to bring the battle to the Illuminati's headquarters in Hell. In order to defeat the Illuminati, Trump's clone must do battle with Satan himself.

Cast

Release

The film had a limited theatrical release in select theaters in the United States and Canada on October 6, 2020. Afterwards, it was released as a DVD and on digital services such as Amazon Prime, Vimeo, and DirecTV. [1] Trump vs the Illuminati was released alongside its prequel, Bigfoot vs the Illuminati, which was also directed by BC Fourteen and released on October 6.

Reception

The film received very negative reviews. It received an average rating of 2.3 on IMDb, putting it at a score below those of infamously bad films such as Troll 2 and The Room , both of which are considered by many to be some of the worst films ever made. [2] Some reviews called it "painstakingly and irrevocably bad", although others described it as "so bad, it's good". [2] Although the film was criticized for its poor voice acting in general, Banfield's performance as Donald Trump was praised by the website Horror Society as "pretty convincing". [3] In 2021, Elisabeth Vincentelli from the New York Times linked the film's trailer but did not review it, stating that the premise alone was "pretty much all you need to know". [4]
