Directed by Stuart Gordon, and starring Gary Graham, Anne-Marie Johnson, and Paul Koslo, Robot Jox takes place fifty years after a nuclear holocaust. Conflict in the form of open war is forbidden by the surviving nations who have merged into two socio-political super-nations- the American-influenced Western Market, and the Russian Confederation. To resolve conflicts over land and resources, the two factions agree to hold gladiator-like matches where human "robot jox" battle each other in giant robotic warrior machines. I'm convinced this film simply suffered from being before it's time. What kind of world do we live in where society no longer accepts theatrical product that pits giant warrior robots in battle to decide national disputes? Dudes were on to something.
