His dream of a peaceful, post-war life in the desert soon shattered by warring factions and a crooked sheriff's department, Johnny is forced to take up arms once again as a heated dispute erupts into all out war. Johnny isn't going to be able to rescue the preserve on his own though, and in order to get the job done he's going to need the help of his six trusted companions.

A scientist discovers what you can't see really can hurt you in this horror story. Dr. Peter Jensen (Richard Hatch) is a professor of archeology who is leading a group of students on a research assignment, in which they hope to explore an ancient Native American burial site. Or at least that's what Jensen has told most of his students; it turns out that Jensen and a few of his underlings actually have a plan to raid the site and bring home as many Indian artifacts as they can find, which will fetch them a fortune on the black market. Not all of the students think this is a good idea, and the Indian hieroglyphics in the cave where the burial site is located warns of a evil force which will take revenge on those who tamper with the site. While Jensen and his partners scoff at this, they discover that this is no legend -- and worst of all, the beast that is determined to do them in is not only powerful and deadly, but invisible. Unseen Evil also stars Tim Thomerson and Robbie Rist. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This low-budget film is about a scientist (Kenneth Hendel) and two other people (Kay Lenz and Richard Hatch), in the wrong place at the wrong time, who are transported to another world in another dimension when an earthquake occurs just as the scientist is experimenting with his "matter" transmitter. As the transmitter beeps and flashes, the trio end up in the strange world of Vonya (which looks very much like the African plains where this film was shot, and where everyone speaks English). Their main objective is to escape back to Earth, but in the meantime, they have several comic-book style villains to handle, of course. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The hustler in Hustler of Muscle Beach is fast-talking New York promoter Nick Demec (Richard Hatch). Hoping to cash in on the bodybuilding craze, Demec stages a muscleman -- and musclewoman -- contest in Venice, CA (where the film was shot). The hero's get-rich-quick scheme gets him into hot water when he selects a most unusual candidate for his protégé. Several real-life male bodybuilders appear onscreen, including Franco Columbu and Frank Zane, but the film's ad campaign focused on the bikini-clad female contestants. Hustler of Muscle Beach was first broadcast May 16, 1980, on ABC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Experiment in Terra" was later combined with "The Return of Starbuck", an episode of the Battlestar Galactica spinoff Galactica 1980, and reissued as a two-hour "TV movie", also titled Experiment in Terra. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
