In the nuclear ravaged wasteland of Earth 2087 water is as precious as life itself.
The isolated Lost Wells outpost survived the holocaust and the inhabitants guard the source of their existence.
An evil cult of renegades want control of their valuable water supply. And the villagers are no match for such brute military force. Only one man can help the stricken community - a mercenary living in a distance cannibal city.
But even he, and his strange henchmen, may not be able to survive in the world gone wild....
Films like this were rife in the eighties, from Mad Max, to Cyborg, to Spacehunter, they were released regularly, and some were of very poor quality. This however is one of the better ones and I've never heard of this film, until it appeared on MGM HD.
But these post apocalyptic movies always carry the same type of story and narrative. Something is always in short supply, the good guys hardly have anything to keep then alive, whilst the bad guys are always in supply of weapons and vehicles.
And there always is the random rugged guy who saves the day.
But it's the way the film is executed that makes the story interesting, and this is beyond the realm of bonkers, it cannot be anything other than a lot of fun.
Ant is acceptable as the villain, he doesn't really get much to say or do, just a lot of shots of him standing up on a truck. Pare is the Mad Max of the film, albeit a really gentle one who doesn't really do much except chase around the girl from Weekend at Bernies.
Dean is the best thing about this, walking around with a swagger and then walking off in the middle of a huge battle, without a care in the world.
It's not anything remarkable, but its a lot of fun and it never gets boring.
Highly recommended.
