Glen (Steven Curry) and Randa (Shelley Plimpton), a young couple, struggle to survive among the uneducated, underfed masses in the post-apocalyptic wasteland once called America. Armed with a stack of tattered comic books and stolen maps, the two set off with their one horse to find Metropolis. The rumored modern city -- if it truly does exist -- could offer answers to their questions about life before nuclear war destroyed all traces of civilization.

Worst movie I have ever seen. My wife and I still laugh at the mere mention of the title.

They can't cook but they can read? Oh well, it was interesting! Trees grow from cars and Metropolis is on the other side of the ocean...

This movie is about retarded cave men in the future. Glen and Randa make the kids from Blue Lagoon look like geniuses.

One of the most realistic portrayals of the post-apocalypse one is likely to ever see. The next-to-nothing budget only adds to the reality of two teenagers wandering lost in a human landscape on the verge of extinction. If you're a sci/fi fan, seek it out.

A slight sad post-apocalyptic story of 2 kids wandering a vast waste land looking for the lost city of Metropolis - Glen saw in a ragged comic book. Of course they never find it and along the way we're privy to watch humanity's last gasp. Made for about a dollar and well worth a look.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Rated X when it was released, this movie is very very odd. It is paced more like a documentary than a drama at times. A very dystopian vision of the future, it still holds up, but just barely. The end leaves you scratching your head and saying "What just happened here?"

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
