"...the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film 'Pitch Black', followed by 2004′s 'The Chronicles of Riddick' and ‘Riddick’ (2013) pairs writer/director David Twohy with actor Vin Diesel, as the antihero 'Riddick', a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
"In the last film, the notorious ‘Riddick’ has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an 'emergency beacon' and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
"The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick as their trophy..."
