Cy-Warrior

1989 · 90 min

A cheap, tense chase through a gritty near-future, with clunky cyborg action and a campy B-movie charm.

Overview
An accident causes the activation of the top-secret Cyber Warrior or 'Cyw' before his programming has been completed. Concerned that the Cyw may fall into the hands of enemies, prove unable to control or simply receive unwanted attention from the public or foreign powers, the military dispatches a crack squad led by Colonel Hammer to bring back the Cyw one way or another.
