A lighthearted space-opera adventure that balances post-apocalyptic stakes with a charming fish-out-of-water protagonist and retro-futuristic spectacle.

Capt. William "Buck" Rogers is a jovial space cowboy who is accidentally time-warped from 1987 to 2491. Earth is engaged in interplanetary war following a global holocaust, and Buck's piloting skills make him an ideal starfighter recruit for the Earth Defense Directorate.
