[edit] Synopsis

In the year 2025, a horrible nuclear holocaust during World War III has left New York City, among others, irradiated and decrepid, but not abandoned. The city, now a poverty-stricken hellhole, is inhabited by brutish packs of scavengers and telepathically-linked mutants, who are violently persecuted and prejudiced by the élite. Keeping the people at bay is a reality television program called Endgame, where hunters and gladiators fight to the death. The film tells the story of Endgame veteran and mutant Ron Shannon (Cliver), who gathers up a group of gladiators led by Lilith (Laura Gemser) to escape to safety through the desert, avoiding such dangers as nomadic predators, machine gun-sporting government agents from New York, and Lilith's former friend-turned-nemesis Karnak (Eastman).
