Buck Rogers (1939) is a Universal serial film based on the Buck Rogers comic strip, starring Buster Crabbe (who had previously starred in two Flash Gordon serials) as the eponymous hero, Constance Moore, Jackie Moran and Anthony Warde.
The story begins with Buck Rogers (Buster Crabbe) and Buddy Wade (Jackie Moran) in the midst of a dirigible flight over the North Pole. They are caught in a savage storm and crash - but not before they release an experimental substance called Nirvano Gas that they hope will preserve them until rescue can arrive. The Nirvano Gas works, but the dirigible is buried in an avalanche and is not found until 500 years have passed. When Buck and Buddy are found, they awaken to a world ruled by the ruthless dictator Killer Kane (Anthony Warde) and his army of "super-racketeer". Only those who live in the "Hidden City", run by the benevolent scientist Dr. Huer (C. Montague Shaw) and his military counterpart, Air Marshal Kragg (William Gould), resist the criminal rulers of Earth.
