In the post apocalyptic world of the 21st century, gasoline products are at a severe shortage. We know this for sure as we see an old sign hanging outside an abandoned gas station that was selling gas for the outrageous price of $59.99 per litre. That's about a quarter gallon for our American friends.

A rag tag para military unit has this nifty armored transport truck that they use to smash through gates and houses etc. They are on an eternal search for gasoline and they ain't in the mood to barter for it. They'd just as soon rip your mush off as look at you.

Unfortunately for them, they run into a guy on a dirtbike who decides he'll take on the whole bloody bunch of them single handed.

Okay, so it's a direct rip-off of the Mad Max flicks which makes it pretty predictable, but it's loaded with action from start to finish. There's enough destruction and explosions to keep just about evrybody happy. Check it out.
