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.

00:00Surrender or pay the consequences
00:07Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:10Earth's last chance
00:13To fight the spirals of love
00:16Darkness has fallen
00:20On the victims of the zone
00:26Our world calls for courage
00:32Peace and freedom
00:35We must own
00:37We will fight
00:40On our honor
00:42But it's right
00:43We'll defend
00:45Fight the zone
00:46Zone prize
00:48Earth's most powerful soldiers
00:51Or Earth's last chance
00:53Against the spirals
00:56Zone
00:57Spirals
01:01Zone writers
01:03Looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:05Let's fight the zone
01:10Hold your fire
01:34We gotta draw them away from the refinery
01:36One stray shot and this whole place will blow
01:39I wish somebody would kill them
01:49I wish somebody would kill them
01:49I wish somebody would kill them
01:49That's bad.
02:03Clear off the refinery, Commander.
02:05More soldiers approaching.
02:07They want the refinery for Overlord. We can't let him have it.
02:28If he gets this oil, half the free world will shut down.
02:37The clients are not fighting for it themselves.
02:43Probably because these zoners are doing a pretty good job for him,
02:47while he's kicking back somewhere safe.
02:52Uh-oh.
02:54Hey!
02:56Watch out!
02:57From the side!
02:58Come on!
03:06Keep them attacking.
03:10The pods are not all in place yet.
03:13These zoners are fighting well over, Lord.
03:16The refinery will be ours at no risk to ourselves.
03:28Good shot, Kat!
03:30I'll leave the next one for you, Hero!
03:32Ammunition is running low, Commander.
03:34Maybe we should...
03:35Hull!
03:38Hero, what's wrong?
03:45A zone generator, Commander.
03:47Well, we'll have to knock it out.
03:48And there'll probably be more.
03:52Die!
03:58I'm coming, Hero!
04:03I'm coming, Hero!
04:08Kriber!
04:09Aye!
04:20Everyone, head for the generator!
04:29We have...
04:33...to knock it out!
04:34The sands of Amaran.
04:35They are mine!
04:55The sands of Amaran.
04:58They are mine!
05:05Three more generators?
05:08Let's take one second at a time, ya?
05:12What the...
05:19Who wants me?
05:21Whoever they are, they don't like zoners.
05:31They're retreating.
05:32Leaving us with four generators to knock out.
05:35And there's no way to do it without blowing up the whole refinery.
05:39Then Overlord has won this time.
05:42It looks that way, Max.
05:49We have the refinery, Bandit.
05:52We group the Black Widows for the second part of my plan.
05:57Too bad these brave horsemen didn't show up sooner.
06:01Ma.
06:12Chimam!
06:14You once called me by much worse names.
06:18Sir Courage!
06:20Huh?
06:21to command our fought against during the desert wars!
06:24I... I know. You were once my enemy. Why have you helped us?
06:29Our Lord's followers have zoned our villages and made our people slaves.
06:34We live to see him defeated.
06:37That's what we want, too. But first, we have to find him.
06:41His local headquarters, the ancient capital of my country, I can lead you.
06:47He wanted your enemy. How can you trust him now?
06:51She is an honorable soldier who fought for her people the way we fought for ours.
06:56I do not think we should go, Commander. It could be a trap.
06:59I will not have people with me who are afraid and suspicious.
07:03Get back to headquarters and report to General Follows. Now get out of here!
07:17I wish those camels would move faster.
07:27Yeah, well, I'm not in any hurry to...
07:29WHOA!
07:31Guy gets back!
07:42The player will not drive!
07:46Julie!
07:47Shawn!
07:49Hang on!
07:54Hey!
07:56Hang on!
07:57Hey!
08:04Tank, you okay?
08:06Yeah!
08:07I made this...
08:16Gratis, Connage!
08:18Ancient underground irrigation tunnels crisscross the whole desert.
08:27Unfortunately, some of them have become rather fragile.
08:31You will have to ride on the animals.
08:33Thanks.
08:34Looks like we don't have any choice.
08:37Water!
08:38Oh, gentle!
08:56Whoa, whoa!
08:58Ha!
08:59Sergeant Schmidt seems new to camel riding.
09:01He'll get the hang of it.
09:08Enjoy yourselves, gentlemen, while you still can.
09:22Duchess Dyer!
09:24No!
09:33Seema, cover me!
09:35With pleasure!
09:38Come on, bear!
09:53Don't even think about it.
10:00Are you alright?
10:02Yeah.
10:03Seema!
10:04Fool!
10:05Do you think I could forget what you did to my people during the Desert Wars?
10:11But Overlord has made them slaves.
10:13And he's going to lift the zone and release them in exchange for you.
10:18What a hawk!
10:24Three zone riders and we barely had to lift a finger.
10:28Katarina and Hiro were right.
10:31Well, how does it feel, Commander Courage?
10:34We have it all.
10:36Your refinery, your suits, and you.
10:40Soon, there will be no one to oppose, Overlord.
10:44And the Spiral Zone.
10:49Stay tuned.
10:50The Zone Riders will be back.
10:55And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:58The sun will be directly overhead soon.
11:08We will camp here.
11:10Since our vehicles don't need to rest like your animals do,
11:15we'll just take the prisoners on ahead.
11:18No!
11:20As ruler of the Marish clan,
11:22I will deliver the prisoners to Overlord
11:25once we reach Amaran.
11:27And I will make sure that Overlord keeps his promise to free Amaran
11:31and my people.
11:34They seem to have stopped for now.
11:35Oh, it is tempting to surprise them.
11:38The Commander gave us the General Follows Code.
11:41We must follow them all the way to Overlord.
11:44Soon you will get what you have deserved for so long.
11:51You're foolish to believe that Overlord will keep his word.
11:54He will.
11:55In order to get you,
11:57he wants to defeat my people.
12:00How ironic that now because of you,
12:02they will be released.
12:14We have reached Amaran Seema.
12:22Hand over the prisoners.
12:24My agreement is with Overlord.
12:26I will give my prisoners only to him.
12:31And so you shall.
12:33We are your friends.
12:35If that is so,
12:36why do you bring an army?
12:39Because your prisoners are clever and dangerous.
12:42And two of the zone riders are still at large.
12:46Give your prisoners to my black widows.
12:49And you and I shall discuss the future of your country.
12:53No.
12:54First you will destroy your generator.
12:57No.
13:01And lift the zone from Amaran.
13:04Enough of this foolishness.
13:07Zoners.
13:08Now.
13:19Is this how you repay my service?
13:23You've served your purpose.
13:25Take her into the zone.
13:26Take all of them.
13:28Now.
13:33Hit it.
13:34Hero, go.
14:01Welcome to Amaran, Commander.
14:03Thanks, hero.
14:04We're going to need your handheld needlers.
14:14Cover me!
14:15I will get Overlord's vehicle!
14:24It's too bad you wouldn't cooperate.
14:26But you will make an excellent zoner.
14:37Come on, Widows!
14:38We'll go to the refinery!
14:40We must defend it!
14:42I was a fool to trust Overlord.
14:54You tried to warn me, but I would not listen.
14:55Now you've saved me and my people.
14:58I owe you a very great debt.
15:00My army will help you in any way we can.
15:03Well, we'll start by getting the refinery back.
15:05That archaeological dig contains an entrance to more of the ancient irrigation tunnels.
15:13Some of them run directly under the refinery itself.
15:16Into the sand below.
15:18Now, if we can just get into those tunnels, maybe we can sink the generators.
15:23And not damage the refinery!
15:25Don't worry, the ruins seem deserted.
15:29Maybe Overlord doesn't know about the tunnels.
15:32Yeah, I wouldn't count on it.
15:33We'll need something to draw his attention away from that spot.
15:37Don't worry, Commander.
15:38My mighty schmeichers will pay care of that.
15:42Somebody find me!
15:44Hey!
15:45Hey!
15:45Hey!
15:45Hey!
15:45Hey!
15:46Hey!
15:46Hey!
15:46Hey!
15:47Hey!
15:48Hey!
15:49Hey!
15:50Hey!
15:51Hey!
15:52Hey!
15:53Hey!
15:54Hey!
15:55Hey!
15:55Hey!
15:58Hey!
15:58Here they come!
16:01Commencing counterattack!
16:11Overlord!
16:11I need backup support!
16:25They're crazy. They'll get nothing out of this.
16:28Wait! There!
16:30They're coming in communication tunnels.
16:33Eh, that's what they think.
16:43This way!
16:55We'll split up here.
16:57Good luck.
16:59We must keep them away from the generator at all costs!
17:13Up ahead.
17:16There's heat.
17:17For the zone generator!
17:19You take it, tank. I'll head for number two.
17:21I will be right behind you.
17:25I will be right behind you.
17:28That's a fire!
17:30Get down!
17:32Very slowly!
17:45I am on my way, Max.
17:47The Black Widows are here!
17:55It should be around that corner.
18:00Look out!
18:01I am on my way.
18:10I am on your way!
18:15Hey!
18:28Harry! We don't have much time!
18:45Uh-oh! I'm getting out of here!
19:05Huh?
19:10Where'd he go?
19:15Where'd he go?
19:20Huh?
19:25Huh?
19:27Huh?
19:30Huh?
19:35Uh-huh!
19:40The generator must be over this spot.
20:03Overboard to Black Widows.
20:05Withdraw to the intruder.
20:10Beep, beep, beep.
20:22Oh, no!
20:25Oh, no!
20:27Oh, no!
20:40We did it! The refinery is free!
20:52But where is Commander Courage?
20:55Somebody looking for me?
21:02We're getting away, but at least we have the refinery!
21:06Once we were enemies, but I realize now that old battles must be buried with the past.
21:18From now on, we fight Overlord together.
21:22As friends.
21:24Yes, as good friends.
21:30We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:37And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:47Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone!
21:53Our world calls for courage.
21:58Peace and freedom we must own.
22:02We will fight!
22:06On our honor!
22:07What is right!
22:09We'll defend!
22:10Fight the Zone!
22:12Zone riders!
22:13Earth's most powerful soldiers!
22:16Our Earth's last chance!
22:18Against the Spiral Zone!
22:21We'll be right back!
22:22We'll be right back!
22:24First up!
22:26We'll be right back!
22:27With you.
22:29We'll be right back!
22:31Let's go for it!
22:33We'll be right back!
22:39The Spiral Zone!
22:42The Spiral Zone!
