Ty Farell (Daniel Riordan) played the hero Captain Zoom in a cheesy 1950s scifi serial, now the people of planet Pangea recruit him as their real-life hero in the fight against the evil Lord Vox of Vestron (Ron Perlman). Also with Nichelle Nichols, Liz Vassey & Gia Carides.

That's roughly the plot of Galaxy Quest, right?
