Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Crossworlds is a 1996 sci-fi film directed by Krishna Rao. The film stars Josh Charles, Rutger Hauer, Andrea Roth, Stuart Wilson, and Jack Black.An Ordinary College Student named Joe Talbot is approached by an attractive blonde at a party, and he discovers that he has been pulled into an inter-dimensional war. An Evil Sorcerer named Ferris sends Mooks after him, and Joe finds out that a crystal pendant, left by his late father, is one of the two pieces of an ancient and powerful scepter that, if obtained by the Big Bad, would allow him to break down the barriers between The Multiverse and allow his army to take over the unified world, as they have done to his native dimension. The blonde, named Laura, and a middle-aged guy they meet named A.T. are (or, in A.T.'s case, were) members of La Résistance, who are trying to keep the crystal and the staff away from Ferris. With the fate of all the worlds at stake, it's up to Joe to find his inner courage and defeat Ferris.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Beam-O-War: A variation. At one point, Ferris grabs a hollow metal handrail from a bus. After he and A.T. end up in the Portal Crossroad World, Ferris uses the tube to project a beam of energy at A.T., which the latter blocks with an energy shield of sorts that appears on his forearm. Ferris ends up winning.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: When Joe first encounters Ferris, the latter pretends to be a museum curator, telling him about the history of the staff. He claims that the staff comes from The Time of Myths, when people believed in magic so much that they made it work. It's not clear if he's just bullshitting Joe or telling the truth.

Bigger on the Inside: Both A.T.'s place and Ferris's headquarters in our world appear to be much bigger than the outside of the building. This is lampshaded by Joe.
