FLASH GORDON - 2007

2007 PRODUCTIONS | 2006 PRODUCTION

Based on the enduring characters created by Alex Raymond first published in comic strip form in 1935, FLASH GORDON follows the adventures of the eponymous hero here on earth as well as planet Mongo.

MING THE MERCILESS rules Mongo with an iron fist. He has to. Rebellion is rife. Water is scarce and he has all the good stuff. And he wants ours. He has begun irradiating our beloved blue planet, setting off a reaction that leads to dramatic climate change. Windstorms knock down west coast forests. Europe’s ski hills are green in winter. Hurricanes destroy major cities. Ice caps melt.

PROFESSOR HANS ZARKOFF recruits young FRED “FLASH” GORDON, an Olympic hopeful decathlete at the university, to help find and return Flash’s father, DR LAWRENCE GORDON, who had been sucked through a black hole by a malfunctioning cyclonic particle accelerator some fifteen years prior. This is news to Flash, who thought his father had simple abandoned the family.

Along with whip smart meteorologist DALE ARDEN, they endeavor to find Flash’s dad, save the planet and foil Ming’s evil plan.
