Storia
In a post-apocalyptic world fifty years after nuclear war, America and Russia resolve territorial disputes through one-on-one battles between giant robots, piloted by 'jox'. The match for Alaska's possession sees Achilles, an American jockey known for his conscience-driven approach, facing off against Alexander, a Russian pilot. The contest's outcome will determine the fate of the disputed territory.
Riassunto
Directed by Stuart Gordon in 1990, 'Robot Jox' presents a unique dystopian future where conventional war has been replaced by battles between colossal robots as a means to settle conflicts between superpowers. The film centers around Achilles, a jockey who fights not just for victory but also with respect for his opponent and the sanctity of life. Although details about the plot are scarce in provided sources, 'Robot Jox' is notable for its exploration of themes such as honor, humanity's ability to adapt, and the destructive consequences of war.
