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.

01:05Zone
01:06Zone riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:08Let's fight the zone
01:25All right, Doctor
01:33Test your zone negator
01:34It's working
01:48Yes
01:49Yes
01:49Yes
01:50What's that?
01:54What's that?
01:55You almost had it
02:11I'm afraid almost doesn't count, General
02:13Well, you did your best
02:15I was so hoping to show the President a successful test when he arrived
02:19Don't worry
02:20Don't worry
02:20He's an old friend of mine
02:22I'm afraid of
02:22You superstars
02:23Of some great
02:27That's the way
02:27To be with you
02:28Do you have a happy
02:31Who's the best
03:01Nice skiing, Mr. President.
03:12Well, I wish I could try some real downhill stuff.
03:16But a President's neck isn't his own to risk, even on a two-day vacation.
03:20And a necessary vacation it is, sir.
03:23You've been under tremendous pressure ever since Overlord struck.
03:31Raise it back to Overlord. They're leaving now.
03:36Good. Duchess. Bandit.
03:40Begin phase two.
03:42Evasive action.
03:52Down, Mr. President.
03:53End, Mr. President.
04:23Falcon 1, call an MCC.
04:26We're under attack by the Black Widows.
04:45Keep in close formation. Hero, take the point.
04:53Here it comes.
05:01It ain't out of back. Go!
05:23No!
05:28No!
05:29No!
05:37No!
05:38No!
05:45No!
05:54No!
05:58No!
05:59Gravel patterns, return to fire.
06:13What happened?
06:14Bandit!
06:15Don't try anything foolish.
06:29Overlord, the Vice President will simply replace me.
06:39This will gain you nothing.
06:41Wrong, Mr. President.
06:43You will understand very soon
06:46when you see my latest invention at work.
06:49Proceed with Phase 3, Bandit.
06:54What?
06:55Impressive, is it not?
06:57It is a holoprage, a holographic projection.
07:02You'll never get away with this, Overlord.
07:04Bandit and I don't even sound alike.
07:08The device...
07:09Has a voice modulator.
07:11Think of this as an extension of your vacation, Mr. President.
07:17Zone him.
07:18Welcome to the Zone, Mr. President.
07:27Now you will see the light.
07:32They've kidnapped the President.
07:46They've kidnapped the President.
07:50Zone riders.
07:51The President's in the ground ship.
07:52Stop it!
07:53You got it, Commander.
07:55Zone riders.
07:56Zone riders.
07:57The President's in the ground ship.
07:58Stop it!
07:59You got it, Commander.
08:00Commander.

08:30Commander Courage, mighty glad to see you.
08:53Are you all right, Mr. President?
08:54I am now.
09:00It's working, a testament to your genius, Overlord.
09:07Of course.
09:13Greg, Mr. President, are you okay?
09:16Fine, General. Overlord is clever, but the Zone Riders scared him all.
09:21I'm sorry to say that your trip here was for nothing, Mr. President.
09:24My Zone Negator failed to work.
09:27Zone Negator?
09:29Ah, I see, Doctor. You must tell me all about it.
09:42Well, I've been looking forward to this, President Rogers.
09:47I'm sure I can find something useful for you to do here.
09:52Too bad the Negator didn't work, Doctor. Still, I want a copy of all the specifications sent to my office.
10:00Since when have you understood bioelectrophysics, Mr. President?
10:05Oh, there's a lot about me you don't know, General.
10:16Bandit calling Overlord.
10:17I am here, Bandit.
10:19What?
10:20Everything is going just as you planned.
10:22I can order Courage's Riders to give up their suits.
10:25No. Anything so radical would cause suspicion.
10:29Stick to my plan.
10:32It is Farouk's crazy.
10:37But he must have a good reason.
10:39What's going on?
10:40It is the President, Commander. See for yourself.
10:43And so I say to you, my fellow Americans, that we must end this war with Overlord.
10:50To this end, I have contacted Overlord, and he has agreed to an armistice.
10:56He will keep what U.S. territory he has, but seek no more.
11:01What?
11:02I'm afraid it's true, Dirk.
11:04Greg, the President, has already contacted me about it.
11:08MCC is headquartered in the U.S., and he's disbanding it.
11:11He can't do that.
11:13Yes, he can.
11:14He's the Commander-in-Chief of the military.
11:16He's sending me to a desk job in Alaska.
11:19What will happen to us?
11:22Commander Dirk Courage reporting is ordered, Mr. President.
11:24Yes, Commander.
11:26I have a special mission for you.
11:28You and your men will represent me at the peace conference with Overlord at noon tomorrow.
11:34And you will go unarmed.
11:38I don't like this.
11:39I don't like this at all.
11:41Yeah, Max is correct.
11:43For once, facing Overlord without weapons is suicidal.
11:49It's the President's orders, and we will follow them to the letter.
11:55He said my men and I would enter the Zone unarmed.
11:58I think you know what to do, Cass.
12:00Yes, Commander.
12:02They've entered the Zone, Overlord.
12:11Man, I'm getting real bad vibes about this.
12:16You are not alone.
12:22There he is.
12:23There he is.
12:24That's far enough.
12:26There he is.
12:34It's a trip!
12:35Zone riders!
12:37Farewell!
12:38Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
12:48And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
12:58What?
12:59Right on time.
13:23Come on. Katerina can't hold them forever.
13:29Stop them!
13:59Oh, the Lord is escaping.
14:02And we're still outgunned. We'd better pull back.
14:05Oh, the Lord is escaping.
14:16And we're still outgunned. We'd better pull back.
14:18Son of a beast, Converse.
14:35Or maybe this will change the President's mind.
14:37But, Farron, you fool! Courage and his men attacked Overlord!
14:41But, Mr. President...
14:42It was unprovoked! The Zoners were unarmed!
14:45The Zone Riders disobeyed my orders!
14:48This is treason!
14:49I want them arrested and court-martialed!
14:52I don't understand it.
14:56What's gotten into my old friend?
14:59Maybe it's time to find out.
15:03I can't believe this. Has everybody gone nuts?
15:07It seems that way.
15:11It's working just as we planned.
15:13Yes. Nothing can stop us now.
15:18I'll get back to you.
15:20Are you sure this will work, Doctor?
15:22I'm not sure of anything anymore, General.
15:24I'll get back to you, General.
15:54Come on. We've got to get to the fields.
16:14How will we get through the security?
16:17Yeah, General McFarlane won't be fooled twice.
16:20We don't have to fool him.
16:22How do you think we got out of the cell?
16:23This is all his idea.
16:25He believes something's happened to President Rogers.
16:28And I will lead your overlords had to hand it.
16:31The General and Dr. Lawrence are working, and we have work of our own.
16:38Bandit, listen very carefully.
16:42We will attack in the morning.
16:44Put all MCC forces out of the area immediately.
16:47Tell Reaper and Razorback that we attack MCC after Bandit gives his speech tomorrow.
16:54All right.
17:12They're Soul Riders.
17:34They're supposed to be locked up.
17:42I believe that's got it.
17:52Will it work?
17:53Well, let's find out.
17:58My fellow Americans, I am here to announce a new era of peace.
18:04Peace with Overlord.
18:06Impossible.
18:07He really meant it.
18:08I didn't believe he'd do it.
18:10The anti-holoparage device into our microwave caster.
18:14Here goes.
18:15In return for my promise of a ceasefire.
18:18I hope you're right about this.
18:21Do it.
18:23Overlord promises to remain in his zoned areas.
18:26And to make known, there is much we can learn from this new world within the zone.
18:32Let us join hands.
18:34Hey!
18:35What's happening to the President?
18:37He's changing.
18:38And so I say to you...
18:40It's Bandit.
18:41He's impersonated the President.
18:43Don't let him get away.
18:44Hold on.
18:45Hold on.
18:46Hold on.
18:47Hold on.
18:48Hold on.
18:49Hold on.
18:50Hold on.
18:51Hold on.
18:52Hold on.
18:53Stop him.
18:54Stop him, someone.
18:55I knew something was wrong.
19:00It wasn't Greg Rogers after all.
19:02Overlord must have the real President inside the zone.
19:05And it's up to Dirk Courage and the Zone Riders to get him out.
19:22Stop them!
19:24The nearest generator is that way, Commander.
19:26About a thousand meters according to my readings.
19:29Okay.
19:30Hit it.
19:35Get back.
19:39Yeah.
19:40Gund speech about this...
19:41antir league and the ninth anniversary is being prayed.
