Riverworld

Welcome to the most spectacular afterlife ever, where everyone is reborn young and healthy - including the most vicious and ruthless warriors of all time! This is the wondrously imaginative setting of Riverworld, a mysterious, sultry planet where the past, present and future must battle together for the precious soul of humanity. When a meteor shower above Earth sends astronaut Jeff Hale to Riverworld, he immediately encounters a powerful warlord named Valdemar who thunders in with an army and declares himself master and all newcomers soldiers, workers or slaves. Now it's up to Hale and an unusual band of allies to fight an ancient Roman emperor and a Viking warlord in order to reach Valdemar, gain their freedom and secure a future for all mankind. Starring Kevin Smith (TV's "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess") in his last performance, Riverworld is an extraordinary sci-fi adventure based on the stories of legendary writer Philip Jose Farmer.
