American football legend Flash Gordon and estate agent Dale Arden are abducted by mad scientist Hans Zarkov who is under the delusion that humanity is under attack. But Zarkov is not mistaken and Gordon and Dale find themselves on planet Mongo battling Ming the Merciless. Based on the 1930s comic strip by Alex Raymond, which became a popular serial at the time and here is marvelously brought to life as camp. Received a Hugo nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation.
