The Chronicles Of Riddick – Dark Fury – DVD

A triple bill of sci-fi action adventures. In 'Pitch Black' (2000), with 40 passengers on board, technical problems force the spaceship Hunter-Gratzner to crash land on a distant planet. The passengers were heading for other worlds and only ten have managed to survive, but one of them, Riddick (Vin Diesel), is an armed and dangerous convict determined to take control of events. The planet at first seems barren, with no evidence of water or living creatures, but when the sun sets the survivors discover they have the planet's terrifying nightlife to contend with. In 'The Chronicles of Riddick' (2004), the sequel to 'Pitch Black', Vin Diesel reprises his role as night-eyed antihero Riddick. In an attempt to evade the mercenaries after him, Riddick escapes to the distant planet of Helion - only to find himself caught in the middle of a violent and bloody intergalactic conflict between two opposing forces: the Elementals, led by Aerion (Judi Dench), and the Necromongers, led by the bloodthirsty Lord Marshall (Colm Feore). Finally, 'Dark Fury - The Chronicles of Riddick' (2004) is an animated adventure designed to bridge the gap between 'Pitch Black' and 'The Chronicles of Riddick'. The story follows Riddick (voice of Diesel) after he has escaped from captivity on an eclipsing planet and, along with his companions Jack (voice of Rhiana Griffith) and Imam (voice of Keith David), finds himself in confrontation with an inter-galactic bounty hunter. Can his death-defying combat skills and incredible night vision help to free him from the evil mercenary?
