About the Film

The Chronicles of Riddick is a 2004 American science fiction action film directed by David Twohy, expanding the Riddick universe from Pitch Black's intimate survival horror into an epic space opera. Vin Diesel returns as Richard B. Riddick, now a fugitive hunted across the galaxy, who is drawn into a war against the Necromongers — a religious death cult army that conquers planets and forcibly converts their populations, led by the Lord Marshal played by Colm Feore.

The dramatic scale expansion from a handful of people on a desert planet to an interstellar civilization's extinction-level threat was ambitious but divisive. Dame Judi Dench appeared as an Elemental, a being of pure air, and Karl Urban played Vaako, a Necromonger commander plotting to seize power. The Chronicles of Riddick earned $115 million worldwide on a $105 million budget.
