The Ray lights the way against evil.

RELEASED 28 Aug 20181h 13m★ 6.3 TMDB

Earth-X is one of many realities in the multiverse, with one glaring difference from our Earth: The Nazis won World War II. Led by The Ray, a group of heroes known as the Freedom Fighters battle selflessly against tyranny. But when The Ray is transported to our Earth to save his life, he passes his powers to his unsuspecting counterpart, Ray Terrill. Charged with superhuman abilities, Terrill is newly christened The Ray and must adapt and overcome the challenges of crime-fighting with a little help from The Flash and Green Arrow. Seasoned and ready to fight, The Ray now faces his biggest battle: a return to Earth-X to lead the Freedom Fighters against Overgirl and her evil Nazi henchmen!

Where it fits in the DC universe

Freedom Fighters: The Ray is listed as a DC production, but its continuity has not yet been assigned. It is not placed in a shared story timeline. A familiar character or actor does not establish a connection to another adaptation, so no prerequisite is inferred from that alone. Its viewing placement will be updated when its continuity is confirmed.
