Battlestar Galactica: Part 2 (2003)

HomeFilmBattlestar Galactica: Part 2

Forty years after the Cylon Wars, humanity's deadliest enemies return with a vengeance.

In a sudden, devastating nuclear attack, the Cylon robots - who have now taken human form - wipe out billions of people. Only a ragtag fleet of Colonial forces is left to shepherd humanity's few survivors to safety. Commander William Adama, a veteran of the Cylon Wars and the highest-ranking military officer left alive, reactivates the battlestar Galactica to once again face his greatest nemeses.

His son, Lee Adama, callsign "Apollo," joins the fight alongside the fleet's best pilot, Kara Thrace, callsign "Starbuck." With the president and most of his senior cabinet killed in the attack, Secretary of Education Laura Roslin is sworn in as the new president of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol. As Adama and Roslin debate whether to fight or flee, the Cylons launch a sneak attack on the new president's ship, Colonial One.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, President Roslin and Commander Adama do their best to lead the military into battle and the civilians to safety. Gaius Baltar, the decadent genius who inadvertently helped the Cylons infiltrate the government's defense systems, has been rescued and treasured as one of humanity's last great intellectuals. No one has yet discovered Baltar's involvement in the Cylon attack - or that he is still haunted, and possibly controlled, by visions of the seductive Cylon "Number Six."

Aboard the Galactica, Baltar's superior intellect ironically leads to his designation as the authority on all things Cylon. Outnumbered and outgunned, Adama reluctantly concedes that President Roslin was correct - this battle was lost before it had begun. With no choice but to flee, humanity's survivors set out in search of the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol ... a legendary planet known as Earth.
