Blake's 7: The Beginning

1985 · 121 min

A grim, talky space-opera of corridors and consoles, where betrayal and cold politics carry more weight than effects.

Genres
Science fiction, Drama
Overview
In the far future, freedom fighter Roj Blake, framed by the all-powerful but corrupt Galactic Federation, escapes his captors from his sentence to a harsh penal colony and, helped by a handful of fellow convicts and armed with a superbly-equipped alien spaceship, sets about restoring freedom to the galaxy.
