2057 AD: On a mysterious alien planet, three NASA astronauts discover the human descendents of a lost Asian civilization. Sheenyana (Yvette Lu), a beautiful mystic warrior, engages in a passionate, forbidden affair with Lt. Richard O'Conner (Danny Dorosh). Yet despite her lover's goodness, Sheenyana's psychic visions foretell a coming danger from Earth. When her manipulative rival, Princess Xionko (Beverly Wu), plots to steal American weapons and expose their affair, it nearly costs the princess her life--sparking an intercultural incident that will force Sheenyana before her king (Taka Hiro) to choose between the destiny of her people and the life of the man she loves.

In-joke: Tara Pratt, who plays Dr. Denise Hanson in "Food for the Gods," was the first actor cast in a role written specifically for her by H. Scott Hughes. "Denise Hanson" is a character loosely connected to a previous film written by Hughes, a Hitchcock-style thriller titled "Crazy Old Woman" (directed by FFTG producer Joe Fang). That film also featured a family named Hanson. An early draft of "Food for the Gods" (set in 2057) suggested that Denise Hanson was a granddaughter of the Hansons portrayed in the previous film set in present day. Although the final film makes no direct reference to Denise Hanson's ancestry, her fate remains strikingly similar to her likely forbearers. Director H. Scott Hughes has referred to this as the Hanson Family Curse. See more »
