Patrick Swayze hopped on the post-apocalyptic bandwagon with this effort, which is scored by Brian May, who also composed the music for the first two Mad Max films.

In a pretty typical 80s storyline, Swayze’s the laconic loner who helps a group of settlers in the desert fight the gang that wants to steal their water.

The supporting cast includes Anthony Zerbe and Christopher Neame, who you know are villainous just by looking at them.
