ActionAdventureSci-Fi98 min

In a fascist future America, nightclub owner and mercenary Barb Wire works the last free zone in Steel Harbor, taking jobs for the right price. Pamela Anderson is Barb, whose hard-edged independence gets complicated when scientist Cora Devonshire (Victoria Rowell) turns up at her club with a government biological-weapons plot closing in. Cora’s husband, Axel Hood, is Barb’s former lover and now a guerrilla fighter, drawing her into an escape plan that puts old loyalties and fresh danger on the same collision course. The film blends comic-book attitude, dystopian cityscapes, and shootout-heavy action.
