Harley Cokliss (second-unit director for The Empire Strikes Back) made his feature-film directing debut in this Mad Max-inspired action film. The story takes place in a post-apocalyptic civilization carrying on after a war for oil has depleted the world's petroleum supplies. An outlaw army under the command of Straker (James Wainwright) controls a gigantic truck used as a weapon of pillage. However, Straker's daughter Corlie (Annie McEnroe) doesn't want to be a part of her father's evil designs.

I watched this film under it's other title 'Battletruck'. And for a film about a 'battletruck' it sure delivered. Doesn't do much though to stand out from a from other films in the post-apocalyptic resource war set in a barren wasteland. If you have a strong love for the Mad Max series than you probably won't mind
February 3, 2012One of the greatest apocolyptic movies. I would put this up there with Mad Max but for me nothing tops THE ROAD WARRIOR. A great film if you can find it. I would love to have a copy of this on DVD along with alot other obscure films I love. Michael Beck is great in this one. Love this film!
