Dolph Lungren took on the role of the Most Powerful Man in the Universe, when he took the role of He-Man in the live-action adaptation of the then popular cartoon series and children’s toy line. Panned by critics and audiences, the film eventually picked up a cult following and now comes to DVD for the first time from Warner Home Video.

Only loosely based on the original characters of “Masters of the Universe” the live-action film takes place on a war-torn Eternia, where the Heroic He-Man must defend the secrets of Castle Greyskull from the evil Skeletor. When a bumbling sorcerer accidentally transports He-Man and his allies to Earth, they must team up with two teenagers (played by Courteney Cox and “Star Trek: Voyagers Robert Duncan MnNeil”) who must help He-Man return to his home planet.

The new DVD will be rather featureless, but will be presented in its original widescreen transfer – 16×9 enhanced of course – and Dolby Stereo. Nonetheless, the disc will be a treat for He-Man fans, even if the films animated counterpart “The Secret of the Sword” still remains MIA.

The DVD will hit shelves on October 2nd with a suggested retail price of $19.98.
