Robot Jox
“The ultimate killing machine. Part Man. Part Metal.”
Science FictionAction
50 years after a nuclear war, the two superpowers handle territorial disputes in a different way. Each fields a giant robot to fight one-on-one battles in official matches, each piloted by a man inside, known as robot jockeys or jox. The contest for possession of Alaska will be fought by two of the best. The conscientious Achilles fights for the Americans. Opposing him is a Russian, Alexander.
VIBE
Pure, unadulterated 80s mech mayhem. It's a glorious, over-the-top spectacle of giant robots duking it out with practical effects, fueled by cheesy dialogue and Cold War-era jingoism. Perfect for a rowdy, nostalgic watch.
