Science Fiction Television
Flash Gordon
Synopsis:
The new Flash Gordon follows Flash and his
companions, Dale Arden and
Dr. Hans Zarkov through wild and momentous adventures. They're ordinary
people thrust, often against their wishes, into extraordinary
circumstances. In fact, they are Earth's last defense against the forces
of a merciless dictator named Ming. As the series opens, we learn that
Flash's father, the eminent scientist Dr. Lawrence Gordon, died in a
laboratory fire when Flash was just 13. Flash has no way of knowing that
something is approaching that will undo all he thought he knew about his
father's death, and set him on a path punctuated by overwhelming
responsibility and euphoric victories. Flash's adventure begins when a
dangerous echo of his father's old experiments reaches him. He seeks
advice from his old flame, Dale. She's a reporter for their hometown TV
station, and she is engaged to police detective Joe Wylee.
Dale quickly
becomes entangled with Flash in interstellar intrigue. It's no
coincidence that Dr. Zarkov, a quirky assistant to Flash's father, also
reconnects with Flash at that critical moment. Zarkov warns Flash of a
transdimensional rift — a tear in the universe's fabric — like the one
Flash's father was trying to create the night of the fire. That
discovery might just turn out to be the least mind-blowing one that
Flash will face.
