Planet of Fire The Movie (home video)
Planet of Fire The Movie was the name given to the new 66-minute version of Planet of Fire. The new version was edited down almost half an hour with new footage, CGI effects and Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. A short introduction by Fiona Cumming, the director, can also be played at the start.
Synopsis
A strange signal from Earth draws the TARDIS to the island of Lanzarote, where Turlough rescues a young American girl, Peri, from drowning. Among her possessions is an artefact bearing an alien symbol - the same triangular mark that Turlough has branded into his arm.
The mystery deepens when Kamelion falls under the control of a powerful mind, and the TARDIS travels to the volcanic world of Sarn. As Turlough is forced to face his past, the Fifth Doctor must stop his oldest enemy from harnessing the revitalising powers of Numismaton Gas...
