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.

01:52Oh, no!
01:53No!
02:05Man, I never saw this many bad guys in one place at one time.
02:15Ha!
02:16Let's see how you like this zone, Ryder.
02:20We have to get out of here.
02:23What?
02:31Ah!
02:32It's on me!
02:37Cat, you're in trouble!
02:41I must be killed, that!
02:53Here's the commander!
02:58Up ahead!
03:02Things are getting fast!
03:04I know!
03:05We just have to hang in there!
03:06It's all over for you, cottage!
03:08There's no way out!
03:10Commander!
03:11Behind us, quick!
03:12This body just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
03:14Cover your eyes, everyone!
03:15That's you, cottage!
03:16We're gonna withdraw!
03:17Right through them!
03:18Back to the eagle!
03:19Move it!
03:20Back to the eagle!
03:21Move it!
03:22There's no way out!
03:23Commander!

03:31Right through them!
03:32Suck them in the...
03:33Back to the eagle!
03:34Move it!
03:35I do not understand this!
03:36The last two missions, it seemed like they were expecting us!
03:38We're gonna withdraw!
03:39We're gonna withdraw!
03:40Right through them!
03:41Suck them in the...
03:42Back to the eagle!
03:43Move it!
03:44Back to the eagle!
03:45Move it!
03:46I do not understand this!
04:01The last two missions, it seemed like they were expecting us!
04:04Well, there's only one answer.
04:07Overlord did know exactly when and where we were going to hit.
04:11Do you mean a spy?
04:12Overlord has a whole network of spies, and it looks like one of them is in MCC.
04:25And that's the local news for Cleveland and Vicinity.
04:27The time is 5.30, and now back to music.
04:34All right, take it in.
04:35See you later, pal.
04:36What are you gonna do this week here?
04:37You got any plans?
04:38All right, well, I'll give you a call then.
04:39Okay.
04:40Won't be long, Julie.
04:41I still don't see how the phone company is gonna help us find Mom and Dad.
04:55I told you.
04:56I was here on a school field trip with the computer club.
04:59And they said the phone company's computer could talk to any other computer in the entire country.
05:04Yeah, well, I still don't get it.
05:11Look, Mom and Dad are probably in one of the zones around here, right?
05:14Yeah, but...
05:15So I'll use the phone company's computer to try to get into Overlord's computer.
05:19Or maybe he has a list of the people and what zone they're in.
05:22Night, Sam.
05:23Night, Phyllis.
05:24Here's our chance.
05:25Let go.
05:27You said you had some good news for us, General?
05:42That's right, Commander.
05:43Dr. Lawrence has found a way to get into Overlord's computer.
05:47Good.
05:48Can you get the list of Overlord's spies?
05:51Yeah, so we can put him out of business.
05:54Well, I'll try, but I'll have only 60 seconds before his computer discovers us and shuts us out.
06:00Ah, so one minute is not very long.
06:02Well, let's hope it's long enough.
06:13And it's the same kind that I used in Dad's lab at the university.
06:17Eve, we're gonna get in trouble, and then we'll never find Mom and Dad.
06:22Come on.
06:23You can help.
06:24Turn on that high-speed laser printer.
06:25Uh, the green button.
06:47There.
06:48Once my new program has located Overlord's system, it will let us in.
06:54Searching.
06:55Searching.
06:56Only one computer system working in the New York zone.
07:00Oh, right.
07:01That's gotta be Overlord's computer.
07:09Any moment now.
07:11Entry is permitted.
07:15We're on three.
07:16We're in, Julie.
07:17We're in Overlord's computer.
07:19Ah, splendid.
07:20We're in.
07:21Now we'll just call up Overlord's list of spies.
07:29That's it.
07:30Great.
07:31Quite.
07:32Look!
07:33You did it!
07:34It just came up by itself.
07:36Now all we need to do is print it up.
07:38You better print it out, quick.
07:40Okay.
07:50Unauthorized user.
07:51Unauthorized user.
07:52Secret agent file penetrated.
07:55Computer, trace it at once.
07:58What in the Sam Hex going on?
08:04I can't believe it.
08:05Someone else got the print out.
08:07You mean we lost it?
08:08To whom?
08:09By heaven.
08:10The foggy.
08:11Wait.
08:12Overlord's got a tracer.
08:14But we're still undetected.
08:20The Midwest Phone Company.
08:22But who would they tie into their security cameras?
08:27Eh, big deal.
08:28Just punk kid.
08:29You fool.
08:30They have a list of my spies.
08:34Computer, lock in.
08:35Identify.
08:36Searching.
08:37Searching.
08:38Searching.
08:39Searching.
08:40Searching.
08:41Still searching.
08:42Uh, they are little children.
08:45Children!
08:46Searching.

08:55Cleveland.
08:56And there's their home address.
08:57Find those kids, Dirk.
08:58Get that list.
08:59Overlord won't be expecting you this time, Commander.
09:00His computer has only detected one signal.
09:01The children.
09:02So he will be after them.
09:03We must hurry.
09:04We must hurry.
09:05Overlord won't be expecting you this time, Commander.
09:06His computer has only detected one signal.
09:07The children's.
09:08So he will be after them.
09:09We must hurry.
09:11Excellent, indeed.
09:12Oh.
09:14You have to do a good job.
09:15Uh, you know, do you have to do a good job?
09:16Yeah.
09:17It is a good job.
09:18Of course, there is no hope.
09:19You have to do a good job.
09:20You have to do whatever job.
09:21That list.
09:22Overlord won't be expecting you this time, Commander.
09:23His computer has only detected one signal, the children.
09:24So he will be after them.
09:25We must hurry.
09:27Excellent information, Alpha-10.
09:43We'll be expecting the Zone Riders.
09:46My only wish is to serve you, Overlord.
09:50And save your own neck.
09:52Your name is on that list, too.
09:55Find those children, get that list.
09:58And when the Zone Riders show up, get them, too.
10:04Gladly, Overlord.
10:22Did you find Mom and Dad on there yet?
10:25Steve?

15:30Hey, what about me?
15:33Get on the back, you careless fool!
15:38I have the tail!
15:50Stay strong, please! We're gonna crash!
15:54We can't stop. Everybody's after us.
15:57Oh, no!
16:08Commander, they are in the Zone at 10th and Burke Street.
16:12I am going in after them.
16:14Roger, Tank. We'll be right behind you.
16:17Black Widows, follow the Zone Riders.
16:29They will be following the children.
16:33I found their vehicle! To the rear of the junk job!
16:45Commander, something's coming up behind us!
16:49About face. Line of defense.
16:51Better get them a quick tank. Looks like we've got competition.
16:57Zero, Cat! Help Tank!
17:15Hero, Cat, help tank! Max, stay with me. We'll slow Overlord's company down.
17:36We are forced to go around. You are on your own, Razorback!
17:45Time to bring you down a notch or two, Razorback.
17:58Okay, Max, better catch up with the others.
18:08I lost the trail. This metal absorbs the heat prints too quickly. Over here!
18:23Over there! In the crusher!
18:37Splendid. I will finish this.
18:41It is all right. I will not hurt you. Commander, I have the list!
18:52Nine, Herr Schmidt. I have you. This one you'll lose courage.
19:05Proceed, Duchess.
19:08Lay down your weapon! Give me the list and I'll stop the crusher!
19:14Do as he says.
19:30Stop the crusher, Overlord!
19:32Of course. As soon as all of you remove your helmets.
19:37Overlord won! He got the list.
19:52Overlord won. He got the list.
20:05Uh, no, he didn't.
20:07I switched my OptiScan from infrared to memory mode
20:10and scanned the pages onto a disk while Overlord was holding it up.
20:13You mean the entire list of Overlord spies is on that disk?
20:18Exactly. Now let's blow this generator and head for home.
20:21We've got some house-cleaning to do.
20:38I thought you two would like to see the results of your, uh, ahem, adventure.
20:43Oh, quite. As a result of that list,
20:47we rounded up just about every one of Overlord spies.
20:50And now I have a little surprise for you kids.
20:57Mom! Dad!
20:59Daddy! Daddy!
21:01Thanks, General. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find them.
21:04It wasn't difficult. Once they recovered from the Zone effects,
21:07they started looking for their kids and contacted us.
21:10Well, young man, it seems you're fond of computers.
21:14How'd you like to try ours?
21:16No kidding?
21:17Steven and Robert, don't you dare!
21:21There!
21:28We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:34And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.

21:57We must own.
22:01We will fight on our honor.
