An immortal Lancelot, living in 1986, is attacked by a gang of punks, kidnapped by Morgan Le Fay, and forced by a mad Merlin to battle a magic suit of armor in a desperate attempt to bring back Camelot–something Old Man Lancelot really doesn’t want.

We visit the 1980s incarnation of The Twilight Zone with this George R.R. Martin adaptation of a Roger Zelazny short story, which originally aired April 11, 1986. It’s a fun story, where Morgan is once again battling Merlin for control of the world. This time, though, there’s a nice inversion, with Morgan content in the 20th century and desperate to stop Merlin from destroying the world in order to bring back Camelot.

Starring Richard Kiley, Jenny Agutter, Norman Lloyd, and John Cameron Mitchell. Written by George R. R. Martin based on the story by Roger Zelazny. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
