DARK PLANET is an ambitious sci-fi action adventure from the director of Stalingrad and The 9th Company, based on the classic novel; Prisoners of Power.

Dark Planet is a beautifully crafted action sci-fi film that depicts a brutal dystopian society in a stylistic and epic form.

The action sequences are explosive and the characters wholly believable, as is a romantic sub-plot that takes place in this dark and foreboding setting. It's a bone-crunching and complex film that is an absolute must for science fiction fans and fans of high-concept action.
