Screened in tribute to Mike Hodges (1932 - 2022)
An American football player and his friends travel to the planet Mongo in order to do battle against the tyranny of Ming the Merciless and save the planet Earth. Natch.
With an all-star(ish) cast (Max von Sydow! Timothy Dalton! Peter Wyngarde! Topol! BRIAN BLESSED!!!!!) and a brilliantly thrilling soundtrack from Queen (in all their anthemic glam rockin’ pomp), Flash Gordon is rip-roarin’ 80s camp sc-fi classic.
