Вавилон 5: Легенда о Рейнджерах: Жить и умереть в сиянии звезд
Director of Photography
Иногда очень нелегко быть землянином. Нельзя подобно некоторым инопланетянам жить при сверхвысоких температурах или дышать в разных атмосферах. Или, как это произошло с Дэвидом Мартеллом из отряда Анла`шок, нельзя подчиниться уставу рейнджеров, не нарушив основной инстинкт человека — инстинкт самосохранения. Нарушение пункта устава Анла«шок »we live for the One, we die for the One» превращает Мартелла в своего рода изгоя. Его пересаживают на устаревшую посудину «Лиандра». Неожиданно он оказывается ответственным за судьбу пассажиров высокого ранга (включая неподражаемого гражданина Г`Кара). Кораблю угрожает новая, а вернее чрезвычайно древняя цивилизация «Длань», по сравнению с которой Тени, наводившие ужас на всю Вселенную, были лишь жалкими насекомыми.
