Overview

Babylon 5: The River of Souls is a 1998 American produced made-for-television sci-fi/action film starring Martin Sheen, Tracey Scoggins, and Jerry Doyle. It was directed by Janet Greek.

It was the third released film of the Babylon 5 Franchise and was set chronologically after the conclusion of the fifth season of the Babylon 5 TV series.  River of Souls was intended to serve as a "filler" film between the gap and Babylon 5: A Call to Arms which was the pilot/set-up for the sequel TV series; Crusade.

They are the Soul Hunters. Hated and feared by many. Because their presence means death for they are always drawn to it in order to collect the souls of those they deem worthy.

And they have come to Babylon 5 to retrieve a precious artifact stolen from them ... the River of Souls which contains the ghosts of over a billion aliens.

But when this artifact is carelessly unleashed, these restless spirits have been freed ... and they are angry at having been denied their rightful rest. And now the station and all of its inhabitants may very well face their undead wrath of this all too real ghost story!
