Synopsis:
When Blake and his fellow freedom-fighters stage a raid on the planet Centero, they gain a device which enables them to decode Federation transmissions – but Cally is caught the explosion they set to cover the theft, and she is left behind, trapped under rubble. Blake’s exploits have now become a nuisance and an embarrassment to the Federation, and so the beautiful but deadly Supreme Commander Servalan assigns the vicious Commander Travis with the task of hunting him down and terminating him. Travis was responsible for the massacre of Blake’s previous followers several years ago, but Blake injured him, leaving him with a missing eye and an arm now rebuilt as a deadly robotic appendage equipped with a laser weapon. Travis now has only one obsessive aim: to kill Blake. He discovers the theft of the decoder and the unconscious Cally, and plans to set a trap for Blake. But the resistance leader arrives before the trap can be set, and he rescues Cally, reversing the strategy that Travis himself used years before. Enraged at his failure, Travis vows to kill Blake at all costs…
