Battlestar Galactica: The Plan

When the initial Cylon attack against the Twelve Colonies fails to achieve complete extermination of human life as planned, twin Number Ones (Cavils) embedded on Galactica and Caprica must improvise to destroy the human survivors.

Critics found the feature-length retelling of the series' mythology a solid, action-driven addition that works for fans, though it offers little for newcomers.
