The earth is under attack. A ruthless galactic dictator, who rules a nearby star system with an iron fist, is bored and he has chosen our planet as his plaything. Unfortunately for him he did not expect the Earth to fight back! Following a fateful meeting/hostage taking situation with disgraced scientist Dr Hans Zarkov, Flash and his companion Dale are launched into space to confront the threat head on and, hopefully, save the earth. Luckily for us Flash is a master of the impossible! What follows is a pulpy science fiction story straight out of a comic book as Flash fights back and rises up to lead an intergalactic rebellion against the evil Ming The Merciless. With only 24hrs to save the earth and the beautiful Princess Aura competing for his attention, will he manage to save every one of us?Featuring some of the most incredible set and costume design ever committed to film, a colourful cast of characters (with the in-imitable Brian Blessed!) and a killer rock opera soundtrack from the legendary Queen, join Flash GorDAN, (oh no not the)BJORNworms, War Rocket JESPER and LEON the Merciless as they brave the ritual of the woodbeast and diiiiiivvvvvveeeee into this cheesy cult classic.
