The beloved and groundbreaking Battlestar Galactica returns with an eye-dazzling update starring Academy Award nominees Edward James Olmos as Commander Adama and Mary McDonnell as President of the rag tag Battlestar fleet—humanity's last remnants searching for their true home. The story begins in deep space where the people of the Twelve Colonies have been at peace with their enemies, the Cylons, for over forty years. All of that changes, however, when the Cylons stage a sudden sneak attack that defeats the Colonial defenses and destroys entire population centers under a devastating nuclear attack. Fleeing the mechanoid Cylon race that destroyed their home world, the Battlestar Galactica survivors meet a staggering array of mind-blowing challenges in a powerful new miniseries of epic proportions.
