Synopsis:

Directed by Gordon Flemyng and now fully restored, Dr. Who & The Daleks (1965) was the first big screen film adaptation of British TV's most iconic sci-fi hero, and was the first time Doctor Who was ever seen in colour! British film legend Peter Cushing plays everyone's favourite Timelord, and having invented the TARDIS, a strange machine capable of travelling into other dimensions, the Doctor and his three young accomplices set forth on a quest through time and space. Their journey takes them into the dark, undiscovered depths of the universe and to the planet of Skaro. A primitive world devastated by nuclear war and populated by two warring species, a peaceful tribe known as Thals and a life form heavily mutated by radiation, encased in protective machines. A merciless force of destruction known as The Daleks!

Accidentally thrown together in an adventure of a lifetime, Dr. Who, his granddaughters, and their friend Ian cross the intergalactic universe in the Doctor's new invention the T.A.R.D.I.S. his space and time machine. Landing unsuspectingly on Planet Skaro, here they meet the kind and placid Thal's, who are under the mortal fear of the dreaded Dalek's. Deadly mutants living inside their metal casings and killing everything that crosses its path. Here is the battle of the Daleks vs. the Thals, for the Dr. has stumbled across a war that not only bravery and cunning can win the day but sacrifice that is a price never too high to pay for the freedom of the galaxy.

Based on a story from the BBC TV serial 'Doctor Who'. Scientist Dr. Who accidentally activates his new invention, the Tardis, a time machine disguised as a police telephone box. Dr. Who, his two grand-daughters, and Barbara's boyfriend Ian are transported through time and space to the planet Skaro, where a peaceful race of Thals are under threat of nuclear attack from the planet's other inhabitants: the robotic mutant Daleks.
