00:02 I used to imagine what it would be like drifting
00:06 towards something miraculous, something most minds could
00:12 never even comprehend.
00:16 But to understand our future, we have
00:19 to remember the past and the ones who caused it all.
00:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:27 Foundation is a thousand-year chess
00:33 game between Harry Seldon on one side
00:36 and the genetic dynasty on the other side.
00:40 The Empire, they're absolutely monstrous.
00:43 They hold sway over 10,000 worlds with an iron fist.
00:48 Threaten the peace and pay a dear price.
00:52 Our world will live on.
00:56 The Empire is ruled by a series of clones,
01:00 and they're at different ages--
01:01 Brother Dusk, Brother Day, and Brother Dawn.
01:04 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:07 A genetic dynasty has reigned for almost four centuries.
01:13 The beliefs of one man now threaten
01:16 the Empire's existence.
01:18 Harry Seldon, he's the prophet.
01:20 He's the mathematician who's invented
01:22 something called psychohistory.
01:25 Psychohistory is a combination of psychology and history
01:28 that predicts the future behavior
01:31 of large groups of people.
01:34 But when it came to individuals, things got murkier.
01:41 Gail Dornick, she's a mathematical prodigy
01:43 and is Harry Seldon's apprentice.
01:45 She's the only other person in the galaxy
01:47 that understands psychohistory.
01:50 They're worried you can predict the future.
01:53 They're worried people believe I can.
01:57 And then there's Elver Hardin.
01:58 She's the warden of Terminus.
02:00 Her job is to protect Harry Seldon's foundation
02:03 so that the plan will continue.
02:05 All the other characters that populate this saga,
02:11 they're the pawns that are being utilized
02:13 in the game between Harry Seldon and between the Empire.
02:17 The whole damn point of the foundation
02:19 is preparing for the unthinkable.
02:21 Foundation is fundamentally a story about hope
02:26 and tremendous sacrifice.
02:28 We should kill them.
02:29 We can murder the men, but what about the movement, brother?
02:33 It's epic.
02:34 It's epic in its storytelling.
02:38 It's about how we deal with crisis.
02:40 It's a very human story.
02:42 We will die to bring the Empire to its knees.
02:46 You just need to be a fan of people who are brave enough
02:49 to go up against impossible odds and save their family,
02:52 save their worlds, save the galaxy.
02:55 So what's the plan?
02:57 You can't save yourselves, but you can save your legacy.
03:02 We are Empire.
03:05 History bends to us.
03:08 This is the plan.
03:12 We're not turning around now.
