This just might be the single worst film I have ever actually seen from start to finish.
So... the basic plot is...
Post nuclear holocaust world. All life everywhere is gone, except for inside the compound where the story takes place. A mad dictator rules the compound, and everyone in it, with an iron fist. Anyone who attempts to leave is shot. No one attempts to leave, because the compound has the last remaining crops in the entire world, because all plant life is gone, because of nuclear war.
Meanwhile, the compound, which is basically what looks like a public school borrowed for the film during spring break, is only separated from the outside world by a chain link fence. On the other side of the fence, you can see... TREES! Meanwhile, the hero has left the compound, gone across the desert, and found a tiny plant coming up out of the sand. WE ARE SAVED! There is life out there! So, he must come back to the compound, and tell the others that there really are new plants growing out there. But no one believes him. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE TREES! Then people must rally around him and fight for freedom and escape the compound.
They must have been in a hurry to wrap up the filming before the kids came back to school, because so much of this film is so poorly shot, acted, edited, etc., they must have been really pressed for time and avoided any re-takes, re-shoots, or acting lessons.
Sadly, though, the film was inspirational enough to spawn "Battlequeen 2020," which was obviously inspired by this one.
Yeargh.
