ALL SCI-FI

[Gord Green]

"Pittsburgh, 1975. Edward Borman, a lowly government office drone, finds himself trapped, when the deadly men of Mercury seize his office building as a staging ground for their nefarious plot. Aided by Jack Yaeger, a daring aerospace engineer from a mysterious organization known as "The League," Edward must stop the invaders and their doomsday device, the Gravity Engine."

Drawing from the same retro serials that inspired such films as Star Wars and Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Mercury Men reintroduces audiences to the great mystery, danger, and suspense the stories were originally known for. The series consists of 10 online episodes, each approximately 7 minutes in length.

Alongside each episode of the series, additional story, media, behind-the-scenes features, and digital props are available for viewers to decipher the mysteries surrounding The Mercury Men. Available on their website here...

I just finished watching the first few episodes, and they are beautifully done!

Since all ten of the episodes are a little over seven minutes long, the entire serial is roughly 75 minutes — or one hour and fifteen minutes.

I'm going to watch them all and then post a comment. I recommend you guys to the same.
