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.

04:09I'm going after her.
04:11You'd never make it.
04:19Sit tight, Cat.
04:20We'll come back for you as soon as we can.
04:24Find the woman.
04:35I'll deal with the others.
04:37Catarina calling songwriters.
04:48Does anyone copy?
04:50Cominx must be out.
04:54Stop!
04:55I am picking up a heat source.
05:07This way!
05:22This way!
05:23This way!
05:25You're going in the Lyle.
05:26Oh!
05:27You should go.
05:28You're a great guy.
05:30Have a great job!
05:32You're a good guy.
05:34I'm gonna keep on getting him.
05:35Come here, man!
05:36Come here!
05:37Oh!
05:38Let's go.
06:08Let's go.
06:38Let's go.

07:30Let's go.
07:32Let's go.
07:45Let's go.
07:47More than a mile high!
08:09Hey, Sullivan! Come look what we caught!
08:12I'll reel her in. We'll decide later if we need to throw her back.
08:26Negative, General. We never got near the zone generator.
08:29We have to stop Overlord from installing that transmitter.
08:32General, Katarina is missing in action. We're going back in to get her.
08:36I'm sorry, Dirk. I can't let you do it.
08:38If Overlord finishes installing the nanowave transmitter on the Gateway Tower,
08:42he can send out a concentrated burst of nanowaves that could overload
08:46and destroy every U.N. communications received in North America.
08:50The mission has to come first, Dirk. Katarina would understand.
08:54Yes, sir.
08:55Dr. Lawrence will rendezvous with you at Map Grid 4 Delta 6.
09:02Fire!
09:03Fire!
09:18This thing keeps the darkness down there from getting you, huh?
09:22I told you, I am one of the Zone Riders trying to stop Overlord.
09:26Now, I never heard of the Zone Riders. Oh, or this guy Overlord.
09:30You do know that he created the Evil Zone? The darkness, as you call it?
09:35Well, we were working up here when it hit down below.
09:37We weren't about to go down into that lightning and stuff.
09:40We've been living here for months on what that robot welder can bring up from the food lockers.
09:44When Overlord stops looking for me, I can go for help.
09:47I will tell MCC about you. You will be rescued. All of you!
09:52Yeah? Or you might get caught and turn us into this Overlord.
09:58Put this stuff with the rest of the supplies.
10:00Oh, you do not know what you are doing!
10:02Thanks to you, our robot is undependable now.
10:05We just might need your suit to go down and get food.
10:08And we don't have enough to share with outsiders.
10:10So if you're gonna stay, you gotta fight to take somebody's place.
10:15Take whose place?
10:17Mine.
10:30Only one of us leaves the girder and lives.
10:37I will not bite you, Sullivan!
10:39Then I'll bite you!
10:45Come on, Sullivan! Come on you!
10:47Come on!
10:48You can get in!
10:50Hunch of me! Hunch of me!
10:52Hold your feet!
10:53Put your feet away!
10:54All the guards...
10:55Look down!
10:56Come on!
10:57Come on, Sullivan!
10:58That's it!
10:59That's all right!
11:00Come on!
11:01Ah!
11:02He's an accident...
11:03Holy shit!
11:04Holy shit!
11:08Ha!
11:10I do not wish to hurt you, Sullivan!
11:12I do not wish to hurt you, Sullivan!
11:13Let's see how you really handle a welding bar.
11:31Looks like you failed a test, lady.
11:33Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
11:48And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
12:01Look out!
12:03Quickly, take my hand!
12:07I don't understand.
12:12We have to get out of this, all of us, together.
12:16Let's go!
12:31BIRDS CHILLER
13:01Get him!
13:19Come on!
13:20Bash him!
13:28Sorry, love.
13:31Careful with them.
13:40They belong to me now.
13:43I do not think they saw us.
13:52The zone generator is too heavily guarded for a successful assault.
13:55The only way to stop Overlord is to hit the nanowave transmitter itself.
14:01If you place the special explosives I've brought with me in these key spots, the tower will
14:07come straight down, thereby avoiding any casualties among Overlord's zone workers.
14:12But what about Katarina?
14:14She's trapped in the zone, maybe somewhere near the tower.
14:17Well, we have to assume that Overlord has captured Katarina.
14:21If she's still alive...
14:22Finished.
14:25I'll stay and guard the transmitter.
14:30That would be unwise.
14:34The nanowave burst will destroy all life within a thousand meters.
14:48A nanowave burst will destroy all life within a thousand meters.
14:53Why didn't you say so?
14:55a nanowaveed
15:10on uplink candle
15:10Hey, that's the remote control for the robot!
15:14I'll activate the transmitter from the arch.
15:44What happened?
16:03The zone, but only for a short time, fortunately.
16:08All right, we'll go in on foot.
16:12We have to go in as quietly as we can.
16:19Iroh and I are going to have one more look for Katarina.
16:35Max, I want you and Tank to rig the explosives.
16:37I've, uh, made some changes in the placement of the charges.
16:41But you've got all the explosives on the west side of the building.
16:43If Kat's in the zone, it may be the last chance she has.
16:47Come on, Sullivan!
16:54What are you doing?
16:56Now we don't play the game, Sullivan.
16:58Please, push our stuff.
16:59Open the transmitter.
17:00We have work to do.
17:02It is better to send than to receive.
17:09It is better to send than to receive.
17:16It is better to send than to receive.
17:25Negative transmitter function.
17:41Negative transmitter function.
17:43Send it to Overlord.
17:44Urgent!
17:45The zone riders have penetrated the zone.
17:48We discovered two of them near the tower.
17:50Keep them busy until I arrive.
17:56Take to Commander, the charges are in place.
18:10Do it.
18:11You heard the man.
18:12Charges are activated, Commander.
18:13They'll blow in five minutes.
18:14Any sign of Katarina?
18:15No.
18:16No.
18:17We'll meet you back at the Evo.
18:24Let's go.
18:47Be clear.
18:47Hear, hear, hear, hear, hear.
18:52Hear.
18:52Hang on, Cat. Hang on.
19:22You've got your suit to protect you from the zone. You'd better get out while you still can.
19:30If I can get my com-links working, we may both be able to get off this building.
19:35Catalina! Come in!
19:41Where are you, Cat? Never mind. We'll home in on your signal.
19:47The tower!
20:13She's going down!
20:17Hang on, Cat.
20:19Look!
20:29We got him!
20:47All right! Let's move it! Secure this area!
20:59I have orders from Defense Command to give you an official reprimand for changing the demolition plan without consulting MCC first. But unofficially, Dirk. I wish I could have seen the tower hit the zone generator.
21:13If you ever decide to get a real job, Cat, there's a place for you on my crew.
21:23Thank you!
21:25We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:35And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:37Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:49Our world calls for courage.
21:51Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom. We must own.
22:01We will fight!
22:02We will fight!
22:03On our honor!
22:04What is right!
22:05We'll defend!
22:06Fight the Zone!
22:07ZONE!
22:08ZONE RIDERS!
22:09ZONE RIDERS!
22:10Earth's most powerful soldiers are Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone!
22:19Until the other day!
22:21ZONE RIDERS!
22:22ZONE RIDERS!
22:23Standard belong widows!
22:24FI-RORRROW!
