    Based on the fantastical illustrated magazine HEAVY METAL, producer Ivan Reitman enlists the world's greatest comic book artists to create the otherworldly tale of a glowing green orb from outer space that spreads destruction throughout the galaxy Only when encountered by its one true enemy--will gooddness prevail through out the universe.

    Lavisly drawn, the vignettes of the orb's dark victories include the character voices of John Candy and Harold Ramis plus a pounding soundtrack by BLACK SABBATH, BLUE OYSTER CULT, CHEAP TRICK, DEVO, DONALD FAGEN, DON FELDER, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, SAMMY HAGAR, JOURNEY, NAZARTETH, STEVIE NICKS, RIGGS, and TRUST. Highly imaginative and full of surprising special effects, HEAVY METAL set the standard for alternative contemporary animation. An intoxicating experience not to be missed.

    Heavy Metal from 1981 became a classic with its artwork styles (from over 17 different countries), music, adult themes (sex, black comedy and violence), voice acting and so on. It felt like the magazine that it was based off of, short adult stories ranging from Sci-Fi, Film Noir, Fantasy, War, Horror, or a mix between some or all of them and the film managed to have all the stories be connected.
