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.

01:16The 10th Annual Association of Lawyers Conference is now in session.
01:21I would like to welcome all of our distinguished guests and colleagues

02:15All right, listen up.
02:17MCC reports Overlord and his Black Widows have entered the Free Zone in Atlantic City
02:24and attacked a conference of lawyers.
02:37A lawyer's conference?
02:38What the heck would Overlord want with a bunch of attorneys?
02:42It must be very important if he's putting himself at risk for it.
02:45This is the best chance we've had in a long time to get it.
02:48Let's move.
02:49I've never seen Overlord so determined.
03:05Where is she?
03:13Where's your guest speaker?
03:15She...
03:16She had to cancel at the last minute.
03:18Blast it!

07:50What the heck is it that's eating overlord anyway whatever it is it does not concern us oh yeah he's been like this for weeks and when he risks our necks over a bunch of lawyers you'd better believe it concerns us
07:58What the heck's eating Overlord, anyway?
08:01Whatever it is, it does not concern us.
08:04Oh, yeah? He's been like this for weeks.
08:07And when he risks our necks over a bunch of lawyers,
08:10you'd better believe it concerns us.
08:15The big phone.
08:20James? Can you hear me? James?
08:24Alice, it's really you.
08:27Alice? Who's Alice?
08:30I heard a news report about you showing up at the lawyers' conference.
08:34I was looking for you.
08:38I know. I'm very flattered.
08:41Well, looks like Overlord's lost interest in you, Duchess.
08:45Guess you're not the teacher's pet anymore.
08:54What's the problem, Duchess? You afraid Razorback is right?
08:59Never!
09:00It's not possible.
09:10I hoped it would be possible to meet with you, James.
09:13Yes, yes. I will make it possible.
09:17But it must be outside the zone.
09:22How about Kirby Park tomorrow afternoon?
09:25Do you remember where?
09:26Of course. How could I forget?
09:29The spots where we first met.
09:32Computer, trace incoming calls.
09:35Tracing.
09:37Call is coming from the Kaplan Hotel in Atlantic City, room 1205.
09:43I'm looking forward to seeing you, James.
09:47Until tomorrow, then.
09:52Have our vehicles and backpacks ready for tomorrow.
09:55We'll be going outside the zone.
09:58But Overlord, it is probably a trap.
10:01Yeah, and we'll be walking right into it.
10:08Did I say this was a debate?
10:11Uh, uh, no, Overlord.
10:14Besides, I have a plan of my own.
10:17Even if this is a trap, we'll be more than ready for it.
10:21I will bring Alice back with me into the zone.
10:25And once zoned, she will never leave me again.
10:30Are you sure that's what you want, Overlord?
10:33More than anything.
10:35Anything.
10:39Well, that's that.
10:41Looks like you're in for some competition, Duchess.
10:44They say looks can be deceiving.
10:48All right, we'll take shifts guarding this bench room.
10:50I'll take the first shift, then Hero, then Max, and then Tank.
10:54All right, go get some rest.
10:55I will relieve you at all 100 hours.
11:01I'm still not sure I can go through with this.
11:03Even though James is so very warped, there is a human side to him, too.
11:08Unfortunately, it's a side he rarely shows anyone.
11:12And that's the side I truly miss.
11:15I know, Alice.
11:17It is painful to not be with someone you care about
11:20because of things you cannot control.
11:42Of course, you are.
11:43So, here we have our lives to our Atom.
11:45I look back with my face.
11:47You are so tired.
11:49And you are so tired.
11:51And you aren't too tired.
11:52You are so tired.
11:54You are so tired.
11:56And I know you have to go through it.
11:57Of course.
11:59I knew that I was so tired.
12:00But I do know that.
12:02I was so tired.
12:04I was so tired.
12:06That's the way that I didn't get to.
12:08I wasn't sure I had to take my home.
12:10I never thought I was so tired.
12:12you must sleep tomorrow will come all too soon she'll get some sleep all right
12:21darling
12:25and now what i came for
12:30stay tuned the zone writers will be back
12:37and now we return with more spiral zone action
12:43wait please
12:50duchess
12:57you
13:12don't cut it
13:19oh
13:21oh
13:23oh
13:25oh
13:29oh
13:31oh
13:33oh
13:35oh
13:37oh
13:38oh
13:39oh

13:57oh
13:58oh
13:59oh
14:00oh
14:01Can you hear me?
14:06Is she safe?
14:08Yes, I'm fine. Good. Then I am fine also.
14:12Looks like Overlord's tried to pull a fast one.
14:14But he blew it, which means he'll have to show up at the park tomorrow to try again.
14:21It's a trap, Overlord. I'm sure of it.
14:24The Zone Riders are behind the meeting with your ex-wife.
14:28I already assumed that, Duchess, and I'm well prepared for it.
14:33The meeting will take place as scheduled.
14:58Now remember, we'll be just out of sight. Once Overlord enters, we'll take over. Are you ready?
15:04I think so.
15:05All right. Let's go.
15:07I am very impressed with Mrs. Ben's courage.
15:22Yeah, she is one strong woman.
15:25No doubt the Black Widows will be in hiding to protect Overlord.
15:28So once he's in the clearing, we're gonna have to grab him fast.
15:31Now all we gotta do is wait for him to show up.
15:34Come on through!
15:59Be sure to follow my orders. Get behind the Zone Riders and their troops before they can attempt to take me.
16:12You will attack them from the rear. And remember, don't attack until you get my signal.
16:18We will be eagerly awaiting it, Overlord.
16:37Alice.
16:47Not yet. Not yet. Wait at least in the clear.
16:50I've looked forward to the day when you would again stand at my side and share in my glory.
16:58Jane, I want to help you.
17:01And you will, by being with me always.
17:07Come on, Overlord. Move.
17:11Once I bring you into the Spiral Zone.
17:15That is the signal. Attack!
17:28Black Widows attacking our rear. Wait for Overlord.
17:34Now to get our error leads on the area.
17:50We're going home, Alice. To the Spiral Zone.
17:55Overlord's got Alice. Hit it!
17:58Overlord's got Alice. Hit it!
18:00Let me stop those garbage makeup!
18:02Look out!
18:04The thing about being in a battle is that accidents do happen.
18:11No!
18:12No!
18:13No!
18:14No!
18:15No!
18:16No!

18:59No!
19:00No!
19:01No!
19:02No!
19:03Good job, Max.
19:12Alice is safe. Now let's get Overlord.
19:28Don't try anything, Overlord.
19:31It's all over.
19:33Don't count on it, Courage.
19:39Pastor Lieber, it's Unremote Control.
19:55Maybe I didn't win this one, but neither did you, Courage.
20:03Overlord escaped. Let's go.
20:06If only our vehicles had not been destroyed. Man, we came so close.
20:19Let's get Miss Bent out of here. The Zone will disappear on its own.
20:23You will pay dearly for this, Duchess.
20:28Who were you aiming for? Me or her?
20:33No! No! You have it all wrong, Overlord. I was aiming at one of the Zone riders.
20:40Surely you don't believe I'd ever do such a thing on purpose.
20:43Your actions continue to confuse me, Duchess. But I will accept your explanation for now.
20:51Well, it's good to see you back to normal, Miss Bent. Fortunately, you weren't in the Zone for long.
20:58I'm just sorry you weren't able to apprehend James. I was really hoping you could have helped him.
21:05A part of me will always miss the man James Bent could have been. The man he should have been.
21:10Don't worry. We won't give up until we capture him. And then he will receive the help he so desperately needs.
21:27We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:33And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:40We will fight on our honor. What is right? We'll defend. Fight the Zone. Zone riders.
22:09As Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:11Or Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:20Spiral Zone.
