In the post-apocalyptic California of 2017, Sam Treadwell (David Andrews) manages a recycling plant. His companion is Cherry 2000 (Pamela Gidley), a lifelike robot who caters to his every need. When Cherry expires, Treadwell refuses to settle for a newer, less attractive robot. Salvaging the chip containing her personality, he hires tracker E. Johnson (Melanie Griffith) to lead him through the lawless desert zone, where a replacement Cherry 2000 model can be found.

Critics Consensus

While Cherry 2000 has a certain low-budget appeal, all but the most ardent genre enthusiasts are likely to find its silly story and uneven performances unintentionally amusing.

A tongue-in-cheek sci-fi action pic which owes a considerable debt to the Mad Max movies.

Gone With The Twins

Action scenes continue to fizzle, comic relief moments inspire zero laughs, and Andrews and Griffith exhibit no chemistry.

Rated: 2/10

Look, I don't know what's going on. I didn't write the movie. Nobody wrote the movie.

I wanted to like it but it's kind of crap. The plot is amorphous. Melanie Griffith plays the part well and I wish I could be in the film and drive around in a Mustang with her and then have sex with her character. People have said that the film is akin to Mad Max but this is offensive to me because it's not even close. I don't hate the film but I don't think it's a good film either. The Sky Ranch part was confusing to watch but I'm glad he burned them out (even though shooting a trail of gasoline would not ignite) etc

Awesome movie, as long as you were 13 or so back in 1987.

A very rich and lived-in post-apocalyptic world for such a low budget picture. Great characters and some really inspired set-pieces.

While the film is an intentional comedy, that appears to be a tactic to lighten the actual story. If you pay close attention to the dialogue, the US has broken up into multiple states thru border wars. The lawless anarchy, chaos and mass crime as government states and states that have Law and Order. Just as the Ed Harris film of "The Way Back" from Communist anarchy was shutdown within 3 days of release in most US theaters, that may have been the issue with Cherry 2000.
