The Phantom (1996): **



The fictional island of Bengalla is home to the superhero Phantom, who is said to be an immortal warrior fighting evil forces. This proves to be false, the Phantom is a role passed down from father to son when the previous Phantom dies. Kit Walker (Billy Zane) is the twenty-first Phantom, returning from America to take up the mantle after his father (Patrick McGoohan) died. Meanwhile, Kit’s ex-college sweetheart Diana Palmer (Kristy Swanson) is investigating a lead for her uncle’s newspaper, ‘The Tribune’; the businessman Xander Drax (Treat Williams) is planning the theft of a rare artefact. Once Drax discovers Diana’s plans, he sends his two of his hired help, the Sengh Brotherhood member Quill (James Remar) and the sky-pirate Sala (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to kidnap her. Kit finds himself on a mission to save Diana and stop Drax from obtaining the three Skulls of Touganda, which grant their owner enormous power when united.
