Don't be afraid of the dark. Be afraid of what's in the dark.
When their ship crash-lands on a remote planet, the marooned passengers soon learn that escaped convict Riddick isn't the only thing they have to fear. Deadly creatures lurk in the shadows, waiting to attack in the dark, and the planet is rapidly plunging into the utter blackness of a total eclipse.

With time running out, there's only one rule: Stay in the light.
