ActionAdventureSci-Fi111 min
When disaster strikes Earth, football star Flash Gordon is swept into space with Dale Arden and scientist Hans Zarkov, landing on the planet Mongo in the middle of Ming the Merciless's campaign of destruction. Sam J. Jones is Flash, suddenly trading the gridiron for palace intrigue and aerial combat, while Max von Sydow's Ming rules by spectacle and fear. Melody Anderson joins the fight as Dale, and Topol's Zarkov becomes Flash's guide through a world of floating cities, rival princes, and rebellion against an emperor.
