I cannot bear to see what has become of Earth, once green and growing

with blue lakes and silver streams, great rivers and mighty seas, now all gone.

Only day and burning desert left, radiation everywhere.

[Narrator] In the year 2199, planet Earth was facing extinction.

In the mid-21st century, the mysterious planet Gamilon, a

planet outside our solar system, declared war on all of Earth.

These evil marauders of space, known for their ruthless warfare

throughout the galaxies, began to bombard Earth with their deadly planet bombs.

The surface of the Earth became unlivable.

People could only survive by moving to underground cities far below the Earth's surface.

There was no defense against the bombing.

The nations of the world fought as one against the Gamilons.

But one by one, Earth's space fleets were defeated.

The Gamilons demanded total surrender, but the Earth Defense Command refused.

So the Gamilons continued their attack.

And now another danger looms.

The deadly radiation pollution caused by the bombs covers the Earth.

And soon, even the underground cities will

no longer be safe, as day by day,

the radiation sinks deeper into the Earth.

Earth is now hopelessly contaminated.

In a year's time, all life on Earth will be extinct.

Now, one last desperate battle between the Earth Defense

Fleet and the Gamilons is being fought near the planet Pluto.

Earth has only one space battleship left, commanded by Captain Avatar.

This battleship alone against such an evil as the Gamilons.

We stand between them and Earth.

We must prevail.

We are Earth's last defense.

Here at Pluto, we must make our stand.

Radar contact.

Approaching target.

Identified as Gamilon Force.

Enemy position at 3 o'clock.

Distance 10,000 megameters from Pluto.

Speed, 27 space knots.

Six space battleships, eight destroyers, and many escort ships.

Confirm Gamilon fleet at 11 o'clock.

Distance 2,500 megameters.

Take battle stations.

30 degrees to starboard.

Artillery standby.

A message from the Gamilon ship, sir.

Earth Fleet, we advise you to surrender now.

What shall I tell them?

Tell them... they're IDIOTS.

What?

I said IDIOTS.

This is the Earth Flagship 225.

Our answer, IDIOTS.

Over.

Target, right, plus four.

Correction, 22.

Second turret aberration, 0-6.

Those are Gamilon ships, men. Aim carefully.

Fire!

The stern is damaged.

Spare oxygen tank's leaking.

Laser gun's damaged.

We're outnumbered five to one.

Unidentified spaceship.

It's not a Gamilon.

At that speed, it has to be from outside our solar system.

And it's on a collision course with Mars.

At Earth's underground defense headquarters, news of a mysterious spaceship is received.

It's going to land at the Polar Cap Zone B by the frozen cliff.

Is there any observation staff on Mars now?

Yes, sir.

Cadets Derek Wildstar and Mark Venture.

They can check out that strange spacecraft.

Good. Give them the order.

Landing.

Orders Support Headquarters to Mars post, zone B.

Check out unidentified craft landing near your base.

Oh, so that's what hit us.

There's a battle going on near Pluto.

Maybe one of the ships crash-landed on Mars.

Here.

Ugh!

I think we're too far away from Pluto for that to happen.

Hey Venture, look!

It's not Gamilon's and it's not ours.

It's got to be from some other planet.

Let's land.

We can't see anything from here.

Take it easy, Wildstar.

I've never seen anything like this.

I wonder where it's from.

Any sign of the pilot?

Nothing in here.

There's no insignia.

There's no identification at all.

Hey Venture, look over here.

Is she...?

I think so.

She's beautiful.

Yes, she was.

It must have been very important to her.

Who is she?

Where is she from?

She must be from some unknown planet.

Distance 8500.

Speed difference plus two.

We're on target.

Missile ready.

Fire!

This is Missile Ship 17.

Destroyed one Gamilon battleship.

This is Missile Ship 17.

Captain Alex Wildstar.

That's Captain Avatar's ship.

It's badly damaged.

Captain!

I'm all right.

Our laser ship exploded!

Tell me, how many ships do we have left now?

Only one missile ship.

Other than this flagship, sir.

Which one?

Number 17.

Wildstar's ship.

I see.

This is enough.

We're going home.

Captain, are we retreating?

We've done all we can.

There will be other battles to fight.

Wildstar, do you hear?

Follow me.

Sure, Captain.

I'll bring up the rear.

You're unprotected.

See you later.

Wildstar, we're going back together.

I don't need or want your protection, but Planet Earth does.

There's nothing to be gained by your staying behind.

You're needed on Earth.

That's an order I expect you to obey.

It's just a simple matter of mathematics, sir.

There are 470 men in your flagship.

There are 20 in our ship.

You'll get back. We'll see to it.

Wildstar, it's an ORDER.

180 degree turn completed, Captain.

Captain, Wildstar isn't following us.

Wildstar!

Can't talk now, Captain.

There's a bunch of Gamilons coming at us.

Don't worry.

I'll get them away from the flagship and I'll see you on Earth.

Good luck, Alex Wildstar.

WILDSTAR!

Secure the Mars Observatory and return to Earth by docking in the returning Pluto battleship.

Roger. We're all ready to go, sir.

Captain Avatar's battleship will be in the Mars orbit in three hours.

He's expecting you.

As soon as you get to Earth, deliver any information

found in the spacecraft to the commander's office.

The Mars search boat is approaching.

Reception airlock open.

Venture, I don't see any other ships in here.

We're the only one.

My brother Alex's ship should be in here.

There must be a way to defeat this evil.

Earth cannot die this way.

Man was not created to live in terror, hiding beneath the Earth.

As long as I live, I will fight.

This whole area used to be a beautiful lake.

In the short time we've been on Mars, radioactivity

from the planet bombs has seeped deep into Earth.

At that rate, in a year, Earth will be unlivable, even underground.

About your brother, Alex, I'm so sorry.

Yeah...

Ah...

Captain, I am Derek Wildstar.

Then you're...

Alex's younger brother.

Yes, I see.

He was brave.

He stayed behind to fight a delaying action.

If he hadn't held the enemy back, we wouldn't have made it back to Earth.

You left him behind.

He chose to stay.

Alex was in your command, Captain.

You could have ordered him back.

I'm truly sorry, Wildstar.

What Alex did was very brave.

He saved the lives of many men.

I heard Captain Avatar was badly wounded on Pluto.

At least he got back.

Wounded or not, but Alex...

So this is the message capsule.

We'll have it analyzed.

Please report all the other data on the crash to the Interspace Committee.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Where did she come from?

This is the medical wing.

Maybe she's a nurse.

... Fellows, I could use some help here. Give me a hand.

Come on, you pig-headed porker.

It's time for your dinner. Come on...

What's the name of the nurse who just walked down the hall?

Oh, you young fellows don't miss a trick, do you?

That was Nova. Best nurse I've got.

Hey, give me a hand, will you?

Augh!

If you're so hungry, come on. Dinner's in here.

[Bam!]

Well, what's this handy gadget?

I am IQ-9.

I am NOT a gadget.

I am a genius robot.

And who is that gentleman with the pig?

That's Dr. Sane.

He's a little eccentric, about five degrees.

He has all kinds of pets, including pigs.

He says they are intelligent.

I doubt it.

Not the way I compute intelligence.

Now it's time for MY lunch.

Sorry, Doctor. The cafeteria just ran out of lunch.

Who are you?

See you later, Doc.

Hello, this is Avatar.

Earth Headquarters?

All right.

You've analyzed the message?

Let's hear what's going on.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

What's wrong with your friend?

He looks a little pale.

Maybe some time in the sunroom would...

It will take more than that, I'm afraid.

He lost his only brother in the battle near Pluto.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I have gathered some information.

It is for you two men.

The woman is not included.

I know when I'm not wanted.

That was very rude.

Do not be upset.

I have not yet been programmed to be polite.

The message capsule you brought back from Mars has been analyzed.

I am Starsha of planet Iscandar.

When and if my sister Astra arrives safely with this message to planet Earth, come to Iscandar.

You have only one year left before the total extinction of all life on Earth.

I have sent you plans for a Wave Motion engine so you can make the long journey to Iscandar.

When you get here, we will give you the Cosmo DNA.

This will remove the radioactivity from Earth and is the only thing that can save you.

I wish we could get the Cosmo DNA to you ourselves, but we cannot.

Then follow the plans for the wave motion engine.

It will get you to Iscandar.

We are located 148,000 light years beyond the galactic system.

You must reach Iscandar in time to save Earth.

I am Starsha of planet Iscandar.

That's the engine plan.

Avatar, do you think it can really work, this new engine plan?

Well, Commander, we won't know until we try it. Yes.

Do you think we can believe Starsha?

We have to believe her, but it's 148,000 light years away.

No one has ever gone that far out into space, Avatar.

Emergency alert!

A Gamilon plane approaching site of the sunken battleship, the Yamato.

Come on, let's take on this mission, Venture.

I can't stand this waiting around.

Alex and I were going to take some leave together,

but now... Come on, let's go take care of it ourselves.

Well, there's nobody else around.

Hey, come on, you guys, you're not cleared to take off.

Let's go, Venture.

Here we go.

I wonder what's so important about an old sunken battleship.

Hmm, I remember hearing about the Yamato.

It was a great old battleship, sunk centuries ago, just scrap now.

Hey, shouldn't we be over Eastern Sea by now?

Hey, we've got something on the radar.

Yeah, there he is.

I'll get him.

He's at nine o'clock, Wildstar.

Ah!

He'll get away.

Our engine's overheating.

Oh, no, this pile of junk.

Are you all right, Venture?

Yeah, I think so.

What about you?

What lousy luck.

If this bucket of bolts had just held together another minute...

We're going to get him when we get back.

Why did the Gamilons send a patrol plane to a place like this, way out here?

Wow. What?

Is that the Yamato?

It's nothing but a pile of scrap metal.

Why is Gamilon interested in it?

They sent a plane to check it out.

I wonder.

Do you suppose there's some secret?

[Narrator] At one time, the Yamato was a great battleship.

It fought nobly until the end.

While rust and decay have taken away her once sleek beauty, the legend remains bright.

A legend of bravery and sacrifice.

Now, just as the ancient ship appears again, the legend will come alive again.

A legend and a ship that will save Earth.
