Steel Dawn
“He is the desert warrior, carving the future with his sword.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 55, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Patrick Swayze's wandering warrior finds settlers whose water supply has attracted precisely the wrong neighbours. The future borrows the shape of an old western, then gives its quiet hero a sword. A straightforward choice for viewers who enjoy solemn heroics amid wonderfully impractical wasteland styling.
