[edit] Plot
Unicom is a powerful organization overseeing most of the world after its economic collapse. They have banned computers and robots in an attempt to ensure "life, liberty, and the pursuit of economic stability." When a Unicom Synth robot infiltrates a southwest TV station and kills the manager, a revolutionary against the gestapo-like corporation, a lowly Unicom delivery man must help the rest of the station survive through the incoming "thermal storm."
[edit] Distribution
Crash and Burn was officially titled Robot Jox 2 in most European markets at the time of release, but renamed when re-released on DVD (the Robot Jox 2 was likely dropped due to copyright issues). This led to some confusion among sci-fi fans as to whether Crash and Burn or Robot Wars was the true sequel to Robot Jox.
Despite the title, same opening theme, and involvement of Charles Band, the plots of Robot Jox 2: Crash and Burn and Robot Jox are completely unrelated.
[edit] Awards
The movie was nominated for the 1991 International Fantasy Film Award for Best Movie.
