Red Faction: Origins DVD Details

Syfy and THQ partnered in a first-of-its-kind transmedia deal to bring fans Red Faction: Origins, a new, original movie based on the critically acclaimed, best-selling Red Faction video Red Faction Origins game franchise. Red Faction: Origins follows the children of rebel hero Alec Mason, set during a period between the Red Faction Guerrilla and Red Faction Armageddon video games.

Starring Brian J. Smith ("Stargate Universe"), Robert Patrick (Terminator 2) and Kate Vernon ("Battlestar Galactica"), this highly anticipated project enjoyed its world premiere on Syfy Saturday, June 4th, 2011. Fans can own Red Faction: Origins on DVD on August 30, 2011 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Universal Cable Productions, Syfy and THQ.

25 years have passed since Alec Mason (Robert Patrick, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) led the Martian Colonies to freedom ... and 12 years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra (Tamzin Marchant, "The Tudors"), and left a broken hero in their wake. Jake Mason (Brian J. Smith, "Stargate Universe"), Alec’s last surviving son and an officer in the Red Faction Militia, has his world turned inside out when he discovers that now, 12 years after her kidnapping, his sister is still alive. As a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, Jake goes out to find her, only to learn that his lost sister is one of them…a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction. Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war.
