When the evil Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) targets Earth for destruction, quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) and journalist Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) are hurled into a cosmic war led by rebels, hawkmen, and tyrants. With a thunderous Queen soundtrack and kaleidoscopic visuals, Flash Gordon is a dazzling, tongue-in-cheek sci-fi epic. Equal parts absurd, heroic, and unforgettable.

Rialto Recommends: Flash Gordon. Louder than a Queen riff and brighter than a supernova, Flash Gordon is pure retro spectacle. Part comic strip, part rock opera. Max von Sydow is magnificently evil, the costumes are gloriously over the top, and every frame bursts with colour and camp bravado. A cult classic that saves the universe - and your mood - in under two hours.
