The Earth is under attack from a mysterious force from outer space. With only days before the Moon crashes into the Earth destroying it completely, Earth’s only hope is the New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon. Can Flash unit the kingdoms of Mongo to rise up against Ming the Merciless or is the Earth destined for destruction?
Without a doubt Flash Gordon was one of my favourite films as a child and I’m glad to say that the magic has not been lost since then. Admittedly it is cheesy, but it’s supposed to be. The original comic book was made in the 1930s and the film retains the full flavour of the era. I think Flash Gordon can continue to entertain for years, even decades, to come. And everybody knows the theme tune!
