Paradox Entertainment's official site has this description of Buck Rogers: "Buck Rogers, a fearless military test pilot, falls into a coma after an accident and awakes in the 25th Century. In a time where man has subjugated, Buck must band together with the new military and use his 21st Century ingenuity to rid the world of an evil alien race."
The character of Buck Rogers originated in a comic strip created by Philip Francis Nowlan and published in January 1929. Since its creation, Buck Rogers has spawned a 1939 serial with Buster Crabbe in the title role, as well as two television series (one in the '50s and one in the '70s).
Anderson's directing credits include Mortal Kombat (1995), Resident Evil (2002), AVP: Alien vs Predator (2004), Death Race (2008), and Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010).
