In the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while trying to stop a mad scientist who threatens to bring evil back to the galaxy.

Slip out of your spacesuit and into something more comfortable! It's time to join Barbarella on a series of cosmic adventures in this Dino De Laurentiis production directed by Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman) and starring Jane Fonda as the intergalactic glamor puss created by comic book artist Jean-Claude Forest.

It is the year 40,000AD. When evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O'Shea) creates a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation, the President of Earth dispatches Barbarella (Fonda) to hunt him down. Crash-landing in an icy wilderness somewhere within the Tau Ceti planetary system, Barbarella is rescued by Mark Hand (Ugo Tognazzi, La Cage Aux Folles) and guided by the blind angel Pygar (John Phillip Law, Danger: Diabolik) to Durand's lair in Sogo, a city of corruption and debauchery, where an encounter with the Great Tyrant Black Queen (Anita Pallenberg, Performance) and her minions throws her mission into jeopardy.

With an all-star cast including David Hemmings and Marcel Marceau, and glorious retro futuristic costumes and art design dripping with 60s psychedelia, Barbarella defined an era and has never looked better than this 4K restoration, with an HDR/Dolby Vision color grade so rich it can be seen from space, loaded with bonus features!
