This film is a cosmic tragedy and a psychedelic sci-fi epic, distinct from the standard superhero formula. It serves as a prequel to the Fantastic Four's encounter with Galactus. The story begins on Zenn-La, a utopian world that has achieved peace but lost its passion. Norrin Radd is a restless astronomer and philosopher who yearns for the age of exploration, feeling suffocated by his perfection. The conflict arrives when the sky turns purple: Galactus has arrived. To save his world and his beloved Shalla-Bal, Norrin makes the ultimate sacrifice. He bargains with the World-Eater, offering to become his Herald and scout uninhabited planets to sate Galactus's hunger in exchange for Zenn-La's safety. The film follows Norrin's transformation into the Silver Surfer, stripping away his humanity and coating him in the Power Cosmic. It is a lonely, visual journey through the cosmos, dealing with the crushing guilt as he slowly realizes he cannot find enough uninhabited worlds, forcing him to make horrific choices that erode his soul until he discovers Earth.
