"The year is 1987, and N.A.S.A. launches the last of America's deep space probes. In a freak mishap Ranger 3 and its pilot Captain William 'Buck' Rogers are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life support systems, and returns Buck Rogers to Earth five-hundred years later."
Astronaut William ‘Buck’ Rogers is launched on a space shuttle mission but the shuttle is swept up by a passing comet and he frozen in suspended animation. 500 years later he is found and revived by a passing flagship of the Draconian Empire that is on its way to Earth to sign a treaty. Aboard, the seductive Princess Ardala takes a liking to Buck. He is released and sent on ahead to Earth where he finds the only remnants of civilization to be survivors living in a domed city amid the post-holocaust ruins. But when Buck tries to convince them that the Draconian treaty is a trap, he is treated with suspicion and disbelief.
