In a post-apocalyptic world, a warrior wandering through the desert comes upon a group of settlers who are being menaced by a murderous gang that is after the water they control.
Co-writers/directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell show a clear affection for the genre, but this isn’t a spoof that pokes fun at cheap and cheesy classics like The New Barbarians or the Patrick Swayze flick Steel Dawn.
In recent years, we've exchanged films about post-nuclear holocaust (Damnation Alley, Mad Max, uh, Steel Dawn) for movies about the aftereffects of an environmental cataclysm or -- for the more whimsical among us -- alien invasion.
