From the unchallenged master of 1960s small screen sci-fi, Irwin
Allen presents his boldest and most expensive show, Land of the
Giants. Premiering in 1968, Giants has built up a devoted fan base
over the past four decades, thanks to its heady mix of mind-blowing
special effects, suspense and pure escapism. It's 1983 and
sub-orbital spaceship the Spindrift is en route from Los Angeles to
London. Mid-flight, the craft is drawn into a terrifying space
storm, forcing it to crash on a hostile planet where 'little people'
are hunted down by giants. Join Captain Steve Burton and his crew
and passengers as they battle for their lives in this complete
collection of all 51 episodes of Land of the Giants!

Synopsis:
Set in the then-future year of 1983, the series tells the tale of
the crew and passengers of a sub-orbital transport spaceship called
the Spindrift. In the pilot episode, the Spindrift is en route from
Los Angeles to London via the ultra-fast route of a parabolic
trajectory. Just beyond Earth's boundary with space, the Spindrift
encounters a strange space storm and is transported to a mysterious
planet where everything is twelve times larger than its counterpart
on Earth. The Spindrift crew calls the inhabitants "the giants".
Given relative proportions shown on the show, the giants are about
72 feet tall (similar to Lemuel Gulliver's situation in the second
part of Gulliver's Travels, when he is in the land of Brobdingnag).
Everything on their planet is built to their scale — buildings,
cars, animals, etc. The Spindrift crashes on this planet and becomes
inoperable.
These giants are humanoid in form, and though their society
resembles in some respects that of 1960s United States of America,
their government is totalitarian. However, few precise details are
given and no governmental symbols are ever seen. The giant
government has offered a reward for the capture of the tiny Earth
people, presumably because of the Earth's superior technology.
Episodes often have the plot of giants capturing one of the
passengers or crew with the rest having to rescue him or her. The
Earth people avoid capture most of the time because their spaceship
is hidden in a forest outside the city. They also occasionally form
alliances with individual giants to achieve some commonly beneficial
purpose.
