![]() Tagline: All the power in the universe can't change destiny.
It is a dark time in the universe. Planet after planet is falling to an unholy army of Necromongers-conquering warriors who offer ravaged worlds a simple choice-convert or die. Those who refuse their rule hope in vain for someone or something that will slow the spread of Necromongers. But rebels are short-lived and saviors, its seems, are in short supply.
When things get bad, weary survivors turn to myths for comfort-murmured prophecies, vain hopes, legends of good vanquishing evil. But good isn't always the antidote to evil and legends can be wrong. Sometimes the only way to stop evil is not with good- but with another kind of evil.
So an unlikely figure is summoned from exile and asked to join the fight: Riddick (Vin Diesel), who couldn't care less who's in charge of the universe, just as long as he's left alone. Since leaving a god-forgotten (and creature-ridden) planet in the Taurus system five years ago, the wanted fugitive hasn't looked back.
