1980's Flash Gordon, directed by Mike Hodges, is a delightfully over-the-top science fiction adventure that combines stunning visual effects, a rousing musical score, and the charismatic performances of stars Sam J. Jones and Max von Sydow. It's a thrilling, pulp-inspired journey that embraces its campy roots while never losing sight of its heroic story of an ordinary man fighting to save the world.
