Steel

1997 · 97 min

A goofy, good-natured superhero romp that creaks along on clunky effects and earnest charm rather than thrills.

Tagline: Heroes don't come any bigger.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Campy, light, absurd and earnest. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Justice, corruption, friendship, redemption
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
