In a sudden, devastating strike, the Cylons return and lay waste to the colonies, aided by human-looking Cylon variants and an unwitting fifth columnist. The attack forces Commander William Adama to call into action his museum-piece warship, the Battlestar Galactica, and soon its company of hotshot fighter pilots is blasting away at the invaders. But their best efforts can't prevent the colonies' obliteration. Fleeing the Cylon genocide, the Galactica leads a rag-tag fleet of survivors on a lonely quest to find humanity's fabled 13th colony -- a planet known as Earth.

Corbin, James Gammon, Wallace Shawn, William Devane
with Tom Selleck
In the final decade of the 1800s, Monte Walsh is the
last of a dying breed -- a genuine cowboy -- an iconoclastic
original, who experiences first-hand the seismic changes
that the era of a new technology has introduced. Eastern
corporations are gobbling up Western land with little
regard for the people who live and work there. They
are deemed irrelevant and disposable. How one man fights
back -- and the nature of his life-and-death struggle
for survival -- is the story of MONTE WALSH.
