Spiral Zone is a 1987 animated sci-fi series that blends action, dystopian storytelling, and futuristic tech. Set in the year 2007, the show follows an elite team known as the Zone Riders as they battle the evil Overlord and his Black Widows, who have enslaved much of the world using a mind-controlling bio-weapon called the Spiral Zone. With its dark tone, advanced animation for the time, and unique character designs, Spiral Zone stands out as one of the most underrated and mature 80s cartoons — a must-watch for fans of retro action and sci-fi animation.

00:00Surrender or pay the consequences.
00:30Calls for courage, peace and freedom, we must own.
00:39We will fight on our honor, but it's right.
00:43We'll defend, fight the zone, zone rise.
00:47Earth's most powerful soldiers are Earth's last chance against the spiral.
00:55Zone Riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial.
01:08Let's fight the zone.
01:25I can't hide here much longer, Beth.
01:44I'll get us out of this somehow.
01:46I'll get us out of this somehow.
01:55Thank you, Commander Courage.
02:02Only one shell left.
02:03I am moving closer.
02:12I reach it, Sergeant.
02:13Just make it cut.
02:25But if we can't get that wheat to Europe, millions will starve.
02:43We can't keep them there any longer.
02:45They've been fighting for almost 24 hours.
02:48They have to stay.
02:49There's no choice.
02:51Montreal is critical.
02:55I have waited a long time for a shot like this.
03:06Sa, we all have heroes.
03:13Hold on tight, Beth.
03:17Hey, it's a couple of kids.
03:19Hold your fire.
03:21The girl in the hover wheel chair is in my phone.
03:23No one can be unaffected by the zone.
03:26It must be a trick.
03:29She is unaffected.
03:32I have to know why.
03:35She must not escape.
03:42Help!
03:44Can't anyone help us?
03:46Use swine.
03:47They are just children.
03:50Keep him covered.
03:51Don't worry about me.
04:00Get my sister.
04:01I have both of you.
04:03Tang doesn't leave children behind.
04:06Devil again.
04:08Good man, Tank.
04:14We have to get her exam.
04:15Her immunity could be the key to victory.
04:18Zone riders, withdraw.
04:19They're getting away with the girl.
04:24For now.
04:25Her name and address are on the back of her hover wheelchair.
04:30But, overlord, they aren't taking her home.
04:33They're probably taking her to the nearest recovery center.
04:36Of course.
04:37And I will get her back.
04:39They told everyone that they couldn't leave the zone.
04:44I looked for them in every work unit in the city.
04:48But it was hard hiding from those doors.
04:51I tried to talk Mom and Dad into leaving.
04:55But they wouldn't.
04:56And I couldn't make them.
04:57So, I took Beth and tried to at least get her out.
05:02That's when we got trapped at the Old World's Fair.
05:05To take such a chance, you must love your sister very much.
05:09Get the pasta coming through.
05:11I wouldn't let you eat cafeteria food after all that time in the zone.
05:15Now you can both be all right.
05:17No more running and hiding.
05:20Are you sure about that?
05:22Is she really going to be okay?
05:25Of course she is, Carol.
05:27Within two days, she will be completely normal.
05:30Everyone who gets out of the zone is.
05:32We don't have the equipment here to find out why she's immune.
05:36The university clinic does, but it's in the zone.
05:39Well, then we'll have to take her back to MCC.
05:42We have the facilities there.
05:44No! No!
05:45It will be all right.
05:47We will take your sister, too.
05:49But we can't leave my parents in the zone.
05:52You have to go in and get them.
05:55I'm sorry, Carol.
05:57Commander, children should not be separated from their parents.
06:01Just this once.
06:02Let me go in and...
06:03No, Tank.
06:04Now, I know how you feel, but we can't risk losing you.
06:07You must stop blaming yourself because your son is trapped in the zone.
06:11There was nothing you could do, Tank.
06:13Yeah, maybe.
06:14Maybe not.
06:15But if I had been with him, then you would have been zoned, too.
06:21But my Joseph would not be alone now.
06:24Tank, if MCC can discover the secret of Carol's immunity,
06:28then just maybe Joseph, Carol and Beth's parents,
06:32and everyone trapped in the zone can be reunited with their loved ones again.
06:36Yeah, maybe.
06:39Ugh, I am so tired.
06:42You all look like you're ready to drop.
06:45Go get some rest, and Carol needs some peace and quiet.
06:48I will be along soon, Commander.
06:50I want to stop at the gift shop.
06:55Hello?
06:55Carol, you must help us.
06:58Don't leave us here, trapped in the zone.
07:04Dad?
07:05How did you find me?
07:07That's not important now.
07:09What's important is that we need you to get us out of the zone.
07:14What's important is that we need you to get us out of the zone.
07:20You mean that you will leave?
07:22Yes, but hurry.
07:25Before it's too late.
07:26Remember, we love you.
07:30Hear that, Seth?
07:31Mom and Dad want to come out.
07:33And if nobody else will help them, I will.
07:36Carol, I brought you flowers and a pound puppy.
07:48Where is your new hop-o-wool chair?
08:01Where did Carol go, Ben?
08:03She went home to get Mom and Dad.
08:08She what?
08:10Tank to zone lighters.
08:11Tank to zone lighters.
08:13Hurry, here.
08:14Commander, Carol is going back into the zone after her parents.
08:18Wait for us, Tank.
08:19You read me?
08:22It's a child going into the zone.
08:25Wait for us, Sergeant.
08:27Go!
08:33Hey, don't shoot!
08:41What's she doing here?
08:44Hold your fire!
08:46Just a girl in a wheelchair.
08:48Refer to Overlord.
09:06She's here.
09:11Out of my way!
09:12Out of my way!
09:15Out of my way!
09:45Where are you?
09:48Why aren't you ready to leave?
09:50Leave?
09:51We can't leave.
09:52That's right, young lady.
09:57No one does.
10:00Now we can have the girl and also rid ourselves of a member of Zone Riders.
10:22Stay tuned.
10:23The Zone Riders will be back.
10:24And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:31And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:31Ignitioned.
10:41Access code.
10:43Overlord.
10:47Begin ignition sequence.
10:49Tank couldn't have gotten far.
11:05Optus scan for his killocycle.
11:09We have no heat patterns, Commander.
11:11That's Intruder.
11:12Overlord might have the girl.
11:14Tank's gonna have to wait.
11:15You see the fiend?
11:26You see the fiend?
11:38Vehicle access.
11:39Yes.
11:40When you get to my lab, I'll discover what protects you from the Zone.
11:45And devise a weapon against it.
11:48What?
11:49Don't let them get to that plane.
11:56At a peak.
12:07Hold them off.
12:09It's special.
12:10I think that's why I reach out.
12:12Death is a weapon.
12:15Death is an weapon.
12:16I think you're not able to fight.
12:18Death is an weapon.
12:18Death is an weapon.
12:38Death is an weapon.
12:39Death is an weapon.
12:40This time, I'm the one who'll win.
13:10Now it's your turn, bandage.
13:29Cat and I will follow Overlord. Give us some cover, then take out those generators.
13:40Hit it! No minor. Emergency. I am near a large university. Need assistance.
13:53Hold on.
13:54We have to manage to begin the journey.
14:10Overlord's going into the sector tank called from.
14:22The university?
14:23Yes. He's probably taking her to the medical clinic there. Check your map grid.
14:28Oh, no.
14:31I'm not a big fan of the ace.
14:33The great goal of this is to save it before the game is ready.
14:36Let's get in there.
14:38Let's go.
14:41Let's go.
14:42Let's go.
14:44Let's go.
14:46Let's go.
14:48Let's go.
14:50Let's go.
14:52I go, subjectors are going with me.
15:00Good timing, Dankeschön.
15:22We were after the girl.
15:24You just have to be on the way.
15:30Where is she?
15:32Do you have her?
15:33No.
15:34Overlord's got her in the medical clinic.
15:36Follow me.
15:45What does it say?
15:49The analyzer so far indicates something to do with abnormal spinal cord function Overlord.
15:55But more tests will be necessary to reach a definite conclusion.
15:59Well, get on with it.
16:02They're coming.
16:03I have to know.
16:05At the present rate, final figures will be available in...
16:08I want it now!
16:13Full power to damage or destroy the subject.
16:17I must know no matter what the cost.
16:20There.
16:21The medical clinic.
16:26We have to get out of here.
16:33We have to get out of here.
16:34We have to get out of here.
16:35We have to get out of here.
16:46We have to get out of here.
16:54Where is she?
16:58Kellen!
17:02I have you, child.
17:06The thing is going to explode.
17:17We must get out of here.
17:27Tank hits the girl.
17:34Move quickly, Tank. We must hurry.
17:36Out of the zone. Hit it!
17:47But Overlord, we've left the generators unprotected.
17:56Forget the generators. They've got the girl.
18:00We've got to stop them.
18:06I know. I know.
18:08Hero, we have the girl. You and Max better hurry.
18:12None of us has had time to recharge.
18:14I know.
18:16I know.
18:18Hero, we have the girl. You and Max better hurry.
18:21None of us has had time to recharge.
18:24None of us has had time to recharge.
18:39The commander says to move out.
18:44In this corner.
18:45In this corner.
18:57Max, hit it!
18:58The zone's gone.
18:59We've lost the zoners. We've lost everything.
19:01We've lost everything.
19:04We've lost the zoners. We've lost everything.
19:08Withdraw.
19:09This is courage. Send an ambulance.
19:10In this corner.
19:11The zone's gone.
19:12The zone's gone.
19:14The zone's gone.
19:15The zone's gone.
19:21We've lost the zoners. We've lost everything.
19:25Withdraw.
19:26I can withdraw.
19:34Mrs. Courage, send an ambulance.
19:41You are safe now, child.
19:43You've disobeyed orders, Sergeant.
19:46Commander...
19:48You nearly got yourself killed.
19:50Now, Tank, the world depends on us.
19:53We cannot allow personal feelings to jeopardize a mission.
20:01Doc, her eyes!
20:02Himmel, she has lost her immunity.
20:06Now, we'll never know what caused it.
20:09Five generators gone!
20:11One seaway reopened and three million people liberated.
20:17Good work.
20:18Now it's time we all got a little rest.
20:23And now that the generators are gone, Mom and Dad are coming here real soon.
20:32Carol, here is someone you maybe would like to see.
20:38Mom! Dad!
20:41You're here!
20:42You're here!
20:44Say, we'll be back to normal soon.
20:48Your legs!
20:49Carol, you can walk!
20:50Yes, that's it!
20:51The reason for her immunity was because the nerves to her legs were blocked.
20:55The runaway analyzer must have unblocked them.
20:57Thank you so much, Tank.
20:58From Mom and Dad and everything.
20:59Have a happy life, child.
21:00I will.
21:01Especially since I can walk again.
21:03But right now, the only thing I can think about is that my family is safe and free.
21:18All people should be safe and free.
21:19Especially children.
21:20We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:25And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:37Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:50Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.
21:58We must own.
22:00We will fight.
22:03On our honor, what is right.
22:06We'll defend.
22:08Fight the Zone.
22:09Zone riders.
22:11Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:13Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
