In a post-apocalyptic world, the human population has been reduced to a few starving groups. Two loners (Giancarlo Prete & Fred Williamson) help protect a group of pilgrims from a ruthless gang known as the Templars who are intent on exterminating everyone left and purging the earth. The finale of Italian exploitation master Enzo Castellari’s apocalyptic film trilogy, this Mad Max knockoff delivers motorcycle chases, flamethrower battles, and ultraviolence with energy, blending Mad Max-inspired chaos with Castellari’s signature slow motion and operatic action style into one of the wildest sci-fi films of the 1980s. (Italy, 1983, 91 min, R, English | Dir. Enzo Castellari)
