Synopsis

In a lawless fuel wars future, marauders roam the wasteland looking for oil. Their malevolent leader Straker threatens his daughter Corlie; she’s rescued by loner Hunter and they harbour with eco-sensitive folk in the Clearwater Commune ... but not for long: there will be blood on the Central Otago plains! Produced by Lloyd Phillips (Legend of Zorro, Twelve Monkeys) and following in the exhaust of Mad Max, Battletruck was an 80s ‘Hollywood’ film made in NZ, with US director and cast flocking south during a writers’ strike to controversially take the main roles.
