Run Leia Run is a fan film that made its debut on the Internet in January 2003 following a premiere at Northwestern University. Created in Macromedia Flash by filmmaker Adam Bertocci, it crosses the story and style of Run Lola Run with the Star Wars universe in a retelling of The Empire Strikes Back, specifically the story of Han Solo's pursuit by bounty hunters and the Empire.

The film is noted for featuring Arcade Fire member Will Butler as Han and for its success at mainstream film festivals in addition to fan events. Other notable cast members include Ben Fletcher as Darth Vader, who previously voiced the Sith Lord for popular fan films such as Knightquest and Broken Allegiance.

Run Leia Run garnered the Audience Award for Digital Animation at the 2003 Downstream International Film Festival in Decatur, GA and Best Animation at the Star Walking convention in Melbourne, Australia. Other notable screenings include DragonCon and the official Gen Con fan films track.

The UK magazine DVD Review mentioned the film in its September 2004 issue, praising it thus: "Overlaid with a throbbing hardcore soundtrack, this is wilder than a night out in the bars of Mos Eisley."

Dr. Who (Cushing) and his granddaughters, Susan (Tovey) and Barbara (Linden), show Barbara's boyfriend Ian (Castle) the Doctor's latest invention, a time machine called TARDIS. When Ian accidentally activates the machine it transports them to a petrified jungle on a world devastated by an ancient nuclear war, fought between the Daleks and the Thals. (Although the planet is not named in the film, in its sequel it is retroactively revealed to be called Skaro, matching the name given in the television series.) At the conclusion of the war the Daleks, heavily mutated by radiation, encased themselves in protective machines and retreated into their city. The humanoid Thals survived the fallout through the use of an anti-radiation drug and became a peaceful race of farmers. The Thals' crops have recently failed, however, and they have journeyed to the petrified jungle to seek help from their former enemies. The Daleks, while determined to become the dominant race on the planet, are unable to leave the city due to their vulnerability to radiation and reliance on static electricity to power their travel machines.

In the 1960s, two astronauts, Fuji and Glenn, are sent to investigate the surface of the mysterious "Planet X". There they encounter advanced and seemingly benevolent human-like beings called the Xiliens and their leader The Controller. The aliens usher the astronauts into their underground base, and moments later the surface is attacked by a creature the Xiliens call "Monster Zero", but which the astronauts recognize as King Ghidorah, a planet-destroying monster that had attacked Earth once before. The monster eventually leaves, but the Controller states that Ghidorah has been attacking repeatedly, forcing them to live underground in constant fear. He requests to borrow the Earth monsters Godzilla and Rodan to act as sentries against Ghidorah's attacks, in return for the cure for cancer (the English dub says the formula can cure any disease). The astronauts return to Earth and deliver the message.

The film is presented as an episode of a Federation documentary pertaining to the Four Years War with the Klingon Empire, narrated by noted historian John Gill (who appeared in "Patterns of Force") and featuring interviews of actual participants on both sides. It begins on Stardate 2241.03, two decades before the original series, with the war's opening battle at Arcanis IV, a prosperous Federation colony along the Klingon border. The Klingons, who did not consider the Federation to be a worthy adversary, maintained the initiative for the first six months of the war, with a number of victories under the leadership of their supreme commander, Kharn. The Vulcan diplomatic delegation under Ambassador Soval (who appeared in Enterprise), overseeing negotiations with the Klingons, are left with little room to maneuver.
