Flash Gordon

45TH ANNIVERSARY! Mike Hodges (Get Carter) adapts the iconic comic strip of a football player-turned-superhero in a colourful space opera.

Although NASA scientists are claiming the unexpected eclipse and strange hot hail are nothing to worry about, Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) knows better, and takes football star Flash Gordon (Sam Jones) and travel agent Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) with him into space to rectify things. They land on planet Mongo, where the despot Ming the Merciless (Max von Sydow) is attacking Earth out of pure boredom. With the help of a race of Hawkmen, Flash and the gang struggle to save their home planet.

Mike Hodges’ camp extravaganza of 1980 doesn’t take itself too seriously, is a definitive cult classic, and a blast from start to finish.
