John Wayne stars in this classic romantic drama directed by John Ford. The story follows Irish-American boxer Sean Thornton (Wayne) who refuses to fight again after a traumatic bout. He returns to Ireland to reclaim his family's farm in Inisfree. But when love intervenes he is forced to fight again to win the heart and hand of local girl Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'Hara) whose brother Red (Victor McLaglen) wants the farm for himself and objects to the pair's union.

In the Seventh Millennia of recorded history, the Battlestar Galactica roams the vast wilderness that is space. The robotic Cylon Alliance has destroyed the Twelve Worlds of Man and the Colonial defences have been wiped-out. Only the Battlestar fleet remains.

With no hope of survival against overwhelming odds, a handful of Colonials make a desperate bid for freedom on the Battlestar Galactica. But Baltar, the leader of the victorious Cylons is determined to finish his mission of destruction.

Under the command of Adama, the intrepid crew of the Galactica lead the Colonial survivors through battles with enemies old and new, tackle internal strife and starvation, while always fighting to outmanoeuvre Baltar and the pursuing Cylon forces.

And all the time Galactica is heading deeper and deeper into space, searching for the Thirteenth Tribe of Man "on a shining planet known as Earth".
