Legendary Heroes Return

Flash Gordon
RHI Entertainment is known for its quality products. New mini series will be interesting to a broad audience.
Directed by Nick Willing, "Tin Man" ("SCI FI") is a 6-hour fantasy that is based on Frank Baum's classic book, "The Wizard of Oz", a leather-clad, soul-sucking sorceress named Azkadellia, who has scorched the once-beautiful land of O.Z. into a desolate wasteland. Its only hope lies with an "outsider" named DG, a young midwestern woman, whose troubling dreams have summoned her to the doomed paradise. She not only changes the fate of O.Z. but discovers, as well, her own destiny in this strange new world.
Legendary characters Flash Gordon, Dale, and Dr. Zarkoff return to television in "Flash Gordon". These characters are pitted against the power-hungry Ming, whose plan to rule the universe is just the beginning off the ominous exploits facing planet Earth.
Finally, in a 4-hour thriller, "Dracula", the legendary vampire and descendant of Vlad the Impaler resurfaces in New York City to free his insane servant Renfield from the confines of Ward's Island. On their bloody trail is the real estate attorney Jonathan Harker, his fiancé and New York Times reporter Mina Murray, and Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, vampire hunter. What transpires is a night of bloodshed, sacrifice, and eternal love. This is an inventive updating of Bram Stoker's novel.
