Swamp Thing Widescreen

Deep in Florida's darkest everglades, a brilliant scientist, Dr. Alec Holland (Ray Wise), and a sexy government agent, Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau), have developed a secret formula that could end world hunger and change civilization forever. Little do they know, however, that their arch nemesis, Arcane (Louis Jourdan), is plotting to steal the serum for his own selfish schemes.

Looting the lab and kidnapping Cable, Arcane douses Holland with the chemicals and leaves him for dead in the swamp. Mutated by his own formula, Holland becomes Swamp Thing--a half plant superhero who will stop at nothing to rescue the beautiful Cable and defeat the evil Arcane... even if it costs him his life!

Swamp Thing - Complete First Season

In 1990 the DC comic book SWAMP THING was serialized and brought to the screen by the USA Network. The show followed two big-screen adaptations of the character (SWAMP THING in 1981, and THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING in 1989) and once again called upon the services of Dick Durock, who played Swamp Thing in both films and in this series.

The creature is an incarnation of former doctor Alec Holland, who is splattered with chemicals and falls into a Louisiana swamp after a bomb is detonated in his lab. He emerges as Swamp Thing, an eco-friendly creature who fights to protect his habitat, and tries to save humanity from its own destruction. The complete set of episodes from the first season of the show are included here.
