Synopsis
Earth's last hope: Yamato's desperate voyage to retrieve a cure from a distant planet before humanity perishes.
The human race has one year left to live. Aliens known as the Gamilas have attacked Earth, poisoning it with radioactivity and driving humans underground. As humankind grows sicker by the day, their final hope is the Space Battleship Yamato–constructed from secret plans and equipped with advanced technology. Its mission: to reach a distant planet and bring back a cure to save humanity. Will the ship and its crew rescue the Earth in time? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment)
