Tin Man (Sc Fi Channel Miniseries)

Tin Man is a 2007 four and a half hour miniseries co-produced by RHI Entertainment and Sci Fi Channel original pictures that was broadcast in the United States on the Sci Fi Channel in three parts. The first part aired on December 2, and the remaining two parts airing on the following nights.

This miniseries is a continuation of the classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with science fiction and additional fantasy elements added. It focuses on the adventures of a small-town waitress named DG who is pulled into a magical realm called the O.Z., ruled by the tyrannical sorceress Azkadellia.

Think of The Land of OZ as if it has the technology level of (Earth, United States of America) comparable to the 1950s. It does look like that The Land of OZ has been "moved" from where it once was. This, according to the novels, is "supposedly true". When "World War I" started across the "Real Earth", Glinda the Good Witch of the South noticed planes and etc going across OZ "airspace" to "make war upon each other" and so moved OZ (all people, places, animals, things, and misc. inside "the Deadly Desert) "to someplace else" (no specification was ever given).

That was the "first re-location of OZ". Just past (real Earth) of 1950, supposedly "L. Frank Baum's great-grandson" by accident found his way into OZ. With Glinda not exactly dead (but vanished, having used up her last power to move OZ the first time), it fell to Ozma to "move the O.Z." again, also exhausting the last of her own existence in the process. So the current residents of the "Outer Zone" have been without a "kind ruler" for some time, as the story of "Tin Man" opens.
