Babylon 5: The River of Souls

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The River of Souls was the third feature-length film set in the Babylon 5 universe. It was originally broadcast November 8, 1998 on TNT, as one of two films shown over the 1998-1999 season to fill in the gap between the fifth season of Babylon 5 and the first season of the spin-off series Crusade.

[edit] Plot synopsis

After a short absence from Babylon 5, Michael Garibaldi returns to the station to meet with a person in his employ. An archaeologist in search of a means of immortality brings his most recent find to Babylon 5 - an orb containing one billion souls of an extinct race. Within days a Soul Hunter (played by Martin Sheen) arrives claiming the orb was stolen from his people. With the assistance of the archaeologist the souls break free from their captivity in the orb and bring havoc to the station.
