ISLAND CITY

ISLAND CITY. Jorge Montesi, dir. USA: Prime Time Entertainment Network, Warner Bros. Pictures (prod), 1994. TV movie, apparently a series pilot. Premiered on "Star" TV, 1 March 1994. Jonathan Glassner, script. Kevin Conroy, Brenda Strong, stars.

Features a high-tech, partially underground city in the middle of a wasteland, with VR facilities and a fair amount of imagery of the superimpostion of the mechanical upon the human: normal human, mutant, and what is pejoratively called "half-breed." See esp. for Modernistic battletrucks; cf. and contrasts trucks in Freejack, Universal Soldier, and Warlords of the Twenty-First Century. Note also motif of high-tech equipment vs. supersenses of the half-normal, half-mutant member of the heroes' "RCF" military team. IMDb citation.
