HEAVY METAL -"The Motion Picture" opened in theatres on August 7th, 1981 (Canada and other select territories). Happy 43rd year movie premiere date anniversary!
Synopsis: Adventures from deep space to futuristic New York, and beyond. Each world and story is dominated by the presence of the Loch'nar -- the sum of all evils manifest as a glowing green sphere whose power infects all times, all galaxies, all dimensions.
To some, it appears as treasure, a green jewel they must possess. Others worship it as a god. Few escape it. Even in death and through death its powers continue. From war to war and world to world it seems invincible.
