X-Bomber

1980–1981 · 1 season

A charmingly archaic puppet space opera with earnest heroes, hissable villains, and a sense of wide-eyed adventure.

Overview: As the year 3000 approaches, a war-torn Solar System is invaded by the Imperial Alliance in search of a supreme being, the F-01. The experimental X Bomber spacecraft with its young crew must discover the secret of F-01 and turn it against the Imperial Alliance or all will be lost.
How it feels: Earnest, campy, uplifting and tense. Measured and easy to follow.
About: War, identity, power, survival
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
