BARB WIRE

When it first ran in movie theaters it was ridiculed, today the iconic neo-noir post-apocalyptic movie proves itself to be prophetic: in 2017 the USA is controlled by a fascist regime that plunged the country into a second civil war. Part-time headhunter Barb Wire owns a nightclub in Steel Harbor, the last free city. She fights, shoots, and usually stands entirely for herself; but when the Congress’ army lays waste to her bar she goes to war with the fascists. BARB WIRE is a loud, riotous, wild CASABLANCA-remake, and ultimately proof that the 90s were actually pretty cool.
