Double bill of classic thrillers directed by Stanley Kubrick. In 'The Killing' (1956), Johnny Clay (Sterling Hayden) gets out of prison after a five-year stint and begins to put together plans for a million dollar race track heist. As he gathers his crew together, it seems that Johnny's plan is fool-proof and is sure to go off without a hitch. However, when gang member George Peatty (Elisha Cook Jr) tells his wife (Marie Windsor) about the plans, and she in turn tells her boyfriend (Vince Edwards), the seeds are sown for the whole operation's undoing. In 'Killer's Kiss' (1955), boxer Davy Gordon (Jamie Smith) finds himself in a world of trouble when he intervenes and saves dancer Gloria Price (Irene Kane) from her seedy and violent boss Vincent Raphello (Frank Silvera). Davy and Gloria fall in love and plan to leave the city and make a fresh start, but Vincent is angry and jealous and sends his men to kill the young lovers...

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".
