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.

00:54Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:56Or Earth's last chance
00:59Against the spirals of love
01:05Zone riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:10Let's fight the zone
01:15We'll see you next time
01:17Top 2
01:29The Suppose
01:30The classified angel
01:32Step aside, I've been charged here.
01:48Move aside, move aside.
02:02It's... it's a zone pod.
02:08I had a bulletin.
02:09These things make the zones.
02:11Leave the village.
02:15Evacuate.
02:18Go somewhere safe, quickly.
02:22I must report this at once.
02:29Let me go.
02:39Let me go.
02:40Let me go.
02:44Let me go.
02:51Let's go.
03:21Let's go.
03:51Three months. Three months I lost sight of it. And now, and now I've found it. So that's where it is.
04:03Where what is, Overlord?
04:09The only pod that failed to activate on the initial raid.
04:13Well, it looks like it's activated now.
04:17Of course it isn't. Any fool can see that.
04:21You're right, my dear. And that creates a problem.
04:27Zone riders.
04:29Correct. Always thinking, Bandit. If the zone riders get their hands on that pod, Dr. Lawrence could figure out the mechanism and...
04:39Devise a way to neutralize the generators. Prepare Includer for flight. That pod must not fall into the hands of the zone riders.
04:48Come in, be seated. There's no time to waste.
04:55This may very well be the only chance we'll ever have to get inside a pod.
05:00That's Russia. And there's the pod.
05:10In the village of...
05:12I am most familiar with this area, General McFarland. I...
05:23Yes, Katerina, we all know it's your hometown. And what with your mother living there, it does raise a question.
05:30I assure you, sir, I can still do my job.
05:33Commander, that's good enough for me.
05:35Ahem. Now, if you'll all follow me to my lab, you'll see how we plan to secure the pod.
05:48Ah, that looks like a containment vessel. We used them in bomb disposal during the desert wars.
05:54Exactly. But you've never seen one built quite like this, I'm sure.
05:59That's one serious-looking piece of equipment.
06:02We've never had the opportunity to contain a pod before.
06:05But to do the job, well, I'll wager that's the best bet in town.
06:12Dysprosium tantitalium alloy. The strongest metal ever made.
06:17Also the most difficult to pronounce.
06:21I say, it has the tensile strength of ten to the...
06:24Yes, we get the picture, Doc. We'll take real good care of it. Promise.
06:28Okay, we have to assume that if we know where the pod is, so does Overlord.
06:32So stay sharp, and let's hit it.
06:34Okay, everyone. We're going in, so stay on your toes.
07:00Oh, excuse me, the creeps. The village is abandoned. It seems unnatural.
07:04Oh, excuse me, the creeps. The village is abandoned. It seems unnatural.
07:05My home. The whole village used to be a happy place.
07:10Cat, we've got to go. As soon as we've taken care of the pod, then we can...
07:17Da, we have work to do.
07:24What do you think, Tank? Can you get at the detonator?
07:25What do you think, Tank? Can you get at the detonator?
07:31You mean this? Way to go, Tank. At least it won't explode now.
07:38But it could still activate. Let's get it into the containment vessel.
07:45Let's get it into the containment vessel.
07:47Uh-huh.

12:36Come on, baby, you can do it.
12:55Something you should see, Overlord.
13:00Of course, Zone Riders.
13:04Hmm, the generator seems to be located below ground.
13:08About a mile away.
13:10Take me there, now.
13:13I have a special job for you and Razorback when we arrive.
13:25We are clear of the caverns, Commander.
13:27Uh-oh, company.

13:42Get up, get up.

14:20You're broken real.
14:21Get back, Max.
14:28Okay, Hero, tank.
14:30Get behind me, quick.
14:30Quick.
14:43Jack, keep the cops coming.
14:45But slow down.
14:46Enough of this.
15:04Bring the roof down on them.
15:05I sealed them in, Overlord.
15:12We sealed them in, Overlord, at my suggestion.
15:29About time you two did something, you scooper, Overlord.

16:01It is all right, Mother.
16:28Everything is all right.
16:30Ah, that was close.
16:38We're not out of this yet.
16:40Not by a long way.
16:42Just leave it to me.
16:47So much for the soul, crackers.
16:51Oh, what a shame.
16:52I was so looking forward to using to my own courage.
16:57Just tighten this and we have a pretty good bulldozer.
17:02As you Americans say, let her tear, Commander.
17:06That's let her rip, Tank.
17:08Ah, whatever.
17:10As long as it gets us out of here.
17:12Let's hope.
17:12Come on, baby.
17:18Come on.
17:30Okay.
17:31Tank, get that thing off.
17:32Yeah, Commander.
17:32Now we're going to pay a little visit to some uninvited guests.
17:43Kat, you bring the villagers out after we clear the main entrance.
17:45I will go with you.
17:47I have a score to settle.
17:48Do as I say, Corporal.
17:50That's an order.
17:51Yes, sir.
17:52Hit it.
18:16Bring me to you, Overlord.
18:18Oh, that courage has more lives than a cat.
18:39Overlord, my vehicle's damaged.
18:41I'm heading back to the ship.
18:43I'm heading back to the ship.
19:14Quickly, get aboard.
19:18Move it.
19:19Move it.
19:34They're getting wee.
19:36Not if we get their ship.
19:43Better hold up here.
19:47I smell a rat.
19:50The sledgehammer tanks have to go.
19:52That should give us enough time.
20:07We'll have to circle around.
20:09Let's go.
20:12Engines running.
20:13Next time, Overlord, it won't be so easy.
20:43Now, Tank, how are we going to explain to Dr. Lawrence how we lost his containment vessel?
20:57Good to see you, Katharina.
21:01Good to see you, Katharina.
21:06It is so good that you recognize me, Mother.
21:09I am glad you were exposed to the zone for only a short time.
21:13One less thing before you go.
21:23One less thing before you go.
21:23We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:37And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:44Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:55Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom we must own.
22:06We will fight on our honor, what is right.
22:12We'll defend, fight the zone.
22:15Zone riders.
22:17Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:19Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:25Spiral Zone.
