Actors Tchoulpan Khamatova, Merab Ninidze
Printemps 1961, Union soviétique. Daniel Pokrovski, médecin de l'armée est envoyé sur la base de Baïkonour pour y préparer les futurs candidats au voyage dans l'espace. Idéaliste, il tient un discours favorable aux expériences spatiales. Toutefois, il est rongé par l'angoisse — celle d'assister à la mort des hommes qu'il forme — et le doute, celui de l'absurdité d'un tel sacrifice. Le film est le portrait d'une génération de scientifiques soviétiques partagés entre le devoir et les incertitudes. C'est aussi la description d'un médecin à la santé physique et mentale fragilisée, dont la vie personnelle se partage entre deux femmes et une épouse, Nina, dont il se sépare.

Ming the Merciless is suspected to be behind the plague and it is discovered that his spaceships have been dropping "Death Dust" in the Earth's atmosphere. Flash Gordon, along with Dr. Alexis Zarkov and Dale Arden, is sent to the planet Mongo to find a possible cure for the plague. They eventually find an antidote, called polarite in the Kingdom of Frigia. Flash and Zarkov distribute the antidote the same way the original Death Dust was spread. Ming sends an army of robot bombs after the three and he succeeds in capturing Zarkov for a short time before Flash frees him.
