The Galactica,
a futuristic aircraft carrier the size of a small city, careens through a
distant star field followed by a convoy of bizarre space vehicles, all
fleeing the destruction of the human race.
Led by Commander Adama (Lorne Greene), these survivors have started on a journey to a thirteenth sister colony in a distant galaxy star system - a planet called Earth. Battlestar Galactica follows these interstellar refugees and their battles with their enemy - the dreaded, lizard-like Cylons.
The extraordinary special effects are provided by John Dykstra, an
Academy Award winner for his work on Star Wars.
