Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is a television film set in the reimagined version of the fictional Battlestar Galactica universe. It consists of newly filmed material as well as a compilation of footage from the 2003 miniseries and 2004 TV series.

The miniseries and first two seasons of Battlestar Galactica are retold with more emphasis on the Cylon perspective and their plan to wipe out the human race. The story follows two versions of the Cylon known as Cavil, one of whom admits they may have made a mistake, with the story being told in flashback. The "Final Five" Cylons are featured prominently.

The film premiered exclusively on DVD, Blu-ray Disc and digital download on October 27, 2009.[1] It premiered on January 10, 2010 on Syfy,[2] on April 2, 2010 on Sky Premiere in the United Kingdom, and on August 6, 2011 on Space in Canada.[3]
