Set more than five centuries in the future, Cleopatra 2525 follows the exploits of three tough and beautiful women in a world turned upside down. Monstrous, heavily armored airborne creatures known as Baileys rule the surface of Earth. Humanity has been driven underground in order to survive — and to fight back.
Over centuries of Bailey domination, humankind's subterranean universe has grown into an immense labyrinth of shafts, corridors and spaces on countless levels housing distinctly different worlds — from beautifully simulated surface environments to toxic-waste dumps. The human populations inhabiting these domains have evolved independently over hundreds of years, giving rise to a vast array of diverse cultures in the underground grid.
Though most of humanity has abandoned hope of ever reclaiming the surface of Earth, there are individuals within the subterranean world still fiercely committed to that cause. Among these brave souls are the female warriors Hel (Gina Torres, Nebula on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Zoë on Firefly and the demonic goddess Jasmine on Angel) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt, Jackie on John Woo's Once a Thief, Shalimar on Mutant X), who rescue former aspiring actress and part-time exotic dancer Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky, the Amazon-wannabe Amarice on Xena: Warrior Princess) from cryogenic stasis. As Hel and Sarge educate Cleopatra in the art of war, she teaches them that looking good won't necessarily hurt their cause.
Infused with high action, drama, humor and spectacular special effects, Cleopatra 2525 was created by acclaimed Xena: Warrior Princess executive producers Rob Tapert and R.J. Stewart, who produced the series in conjunction with Renaissance Pictures (Timecop, Army of Darkness, Hercules and Xena), the production company of Cleopatra 2525 fellow executive producer Sam Raimi.
