Buck Rogers In The 25th Century: The Complete Series
The year is 1987 and NASA launches the last of America’s deep space
probes. Aboard this compact starship a lone astronaut Captain William Buck
Rogers, was to experience cosmic forces beyond all comprehension. In a freak
mishap Ranger 3 and its pilot are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit
which freezes his life support system and returns Buck Rogers to Earth
500 years later.
Forced to readjust to a new world, and its people who blame his generation
for a nuclear holocaust which left the earth a radioactive wasteland, Buck is
soon enlisted to help save the Earth from an alien threat, working with Colonel
Wilma Deering and a robot-droid known as Twiki, who join him on heroic space
adventures.
Launched in 1979 as a companion to the hype around STAR WARS and BATTLESTAR
GALACTICA, BUCK ROGERS became entrenched in sci-fi folklore going on to become a
firm fan favourite for decades to come, produced by TV action icon Glen A.
Larson. Now every adventure is brought back to DVD in this complete NEWLY
REMASTERED set including the original TV version of the pilot.
Gil Gerard and Erin Gray are joined by Tim O’Connor, the voice of Mel Blanc
and guest stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Cesar Romero, Jerry Orbach, Vera Miles, Roddy
McDowall, Julie Newmar, Frank Gorshin, Peter Graves, Jack Palance, Gary Coleman,
Buster Crabbe, Michael Ansara, Pamela Hensley and more.
