And most viewers will be saving a good hour and a half of their lives if they stop right now and contemplate what a cool, suspenseful, and, yes, poignantly ironic story this movie could have been because, chances are, their imagination will be far more entertaining than what they'll get out of this movie.

One such scavenger unwittingly brings back a dangerous relic of the wars- a combat robot. Some occasionally go forth into the desert wasteland to scavenge what they can. Huddling in their fortified and environmentally controlled shelters, pockets of humanity hang grimly onto life. It is a future where humanity has nearly rendered the Earth uninhabitable by war and pollution. The movie is set the better part of a century into our future.
