World War III is over, and the survivors include Michael Beck (The Warriors), Annie McEnroe (Howling II) and John Ratzenberger (Cheers), which tells you what to expect from this cheapie.

When Beck crosses the path of an insane Colonel who drives an armoured battletruck, it leads to the usual chase sequences through the post-nuke desert.

From Beck’s Man With No Name to the very Lee Van Cleef-ish villain, there are hints that the movie considers itself a western, which presents a problem – it was shot in New Zealand, which looks nothing like the wild west.
