The year is 2157: Maxim is on a mission in deep space when his ship crashes on an unknown planet. Despite the highly advanced weaponry and technology developed by the planet’s tyrannical leaders, he finds the general population suffering under cruel medieval living conditions.

An epic battle commences…
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.
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.
Directed by Fedor Bondarchuk and Starring Yuliya Snigir (A Good Day to Die Hard) Dark Planet comes to DVD from Monday 16th Feb and for download from Monday 9th Feb, 2015. The trailer is at the link above.
