“Heroes don't come any bigger.”

Science FictionActionCrimeFantasy

When a renegade military reject puts new superweapons in dangerous hands, John Henry Irons becomes Steel. Wearing body armor, wielding a fearsome electrohammer and riding a gadget-packed motorcycle, he's ready to wage war... if he can fix the untimely glitches in his untested gear.

VIBE

A no-nonsense, 90s superhero flick with a grounded, military sci-fi edge. It's a straightforward, action-heavy ride about a reluctant hero facing down corporate greed and faulty tech. Expect explosive set pieces and a determined, if slightly glitchy, protagonist.
