This television movie is the combination of a number of Flash Gordon TV shows, made in West Germany, from the early 1950s. Diverging from the storyline of the comics, the series has Flash, Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov in the year 3203. As agents of the Galactic Bureau of Investigation, the team travels the galaxy in their ship the Sky Flash, battling cosmic villains under the order of Commander Paul Richards. In this movie, Dr. Zarkoff’s request to test his new anti-gravitation device on a remote planet is denied because of the mysterious deaths of a recent scientific expedition. Can Flash Gordon solve this mystery? Starring Steve Holland, Irene Chaplin, and Joseph Nash. Before the Millennium Falcon there was the Sky Flash! No, this is not the Flesh Gordon movie.
