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, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:05Let's fight the zone
01:09Bring me more zone spores
01:25At last
01:36It's ready
01:38At last
01:50It's ready
01:52And I always thought the spores were useless growths
01:57Oh, it took your genius to discover their true value
02:02Yes, as the final nail in the coffin of the zone writers, the MCC and the so-called zone free world
02:11Commander, we are running out of room
02:25Then we'll have to make some
02:27Follow me
02:28We have him now
02:39Assume water mode
02:43Assume water mode

02:55Assume water mode
02:56I'm introduced to the cop.
03:21Tag him.
03:23You will laugh no more, dog.
03:26The expression is coming at you, not to you, tank.
03:37I think he understood my message anyway.
03:56How does it feel to be a celebrity?
04:11Like being rewarded for something I have not yet done.
04:15I must check the oil in the engines.
04:17Sit down, tank.
04:18Let's give a great big welcome to our hometown hero, Dirk Courage.
04:24I sure love the part where tank and hero came kabam, smashing right into that son of a gun.
04:50Oh, William, enough war talk.
04:53But you all are doing a good job.
04:56And we're proud of your son.
04:58Thanks, Mom.
04:59Just one more picture, Commander.
05:00Bring the container.
05:23This is the place.
05:39Now for the first test of my spore formula.
05:45It works.
06:01It works.
06:13Of course it works.
06:16Perfect.
06:27With a spore formula in the world's water supplies, people will flock into the zone.
06:34And among the first to arrive will be the zone riders.
06:39But how can you be sure they'll drink the water?
06:47At the celebration, Dirk Courage's parents will drink the water.
06:52And after they've entered the zone, Courage and his zoners will try to rescue them.
07:09And that lemonade sure is going to taste good.
07:13Of course it will.
07:14It's made with good old mountain water.
07:16Hurry up with that.
07:18Folks will be coming for the picnic soon.
07:20Well, who wants the first taste?
07:33Dirk Courage, who do you think?
07:34Dirk Courage
07:36Picnic's going to start soon.
08:03I'm afraid we'd better be getting back to MCC.
08:05Why, shoot, Dirk, you just got here.
08:08Your son does not like all this hero worship.
08:11It's not hero worship.
08:14You zone riders are the only thing between us and that.
08:19Your father's right, Dirk.
08:21It's so easy to lose hope because of the zone.
08:24You give the whole world a reason to keep on hoping.
08:29Mark Forland calling Courage.
08:35Courage here, General.
08:39I wanted to thank you and the zone riders for making this public appearance, Commander.
08:43It's getting publicity all over the world.
08:45Great for morale and...
08:47Just a second, Dirk.
08:48One of our surveillance satellites just spotted Overlord less than 10 miles from you.
08:57Zone riders, mount up.
09:01Mom, Dad, I've got to go.
09:03Well, give him a hat, Dirk.
09:12Roger.
09:19I wish he didn't have to go.
09:23Now, now, Mother.
09:25Our boy can take care of himself.
09:27I hope so.
09:29That darn Overlord.
09:30Dirk will be back in no time.
09:33Come on, let's get some lemonade.
09:34Yes, yes, the zone riders are coming.
09:46They drank my spore formula.
09:49At last, I have them.
09:52Are you sure, Overlord?
10:01Their eyes are not yellow.
10:03They haven't drunk the water yet.
10:04And we will simply crush them.
10:10Duchess?
10:131,200 meters and closing fast.
10:16Hurry!
10:26We'll just have to make sure the zone riders drop in.
10:34The old Flint Mountain mine is in there.
10:38There's a lot of places for an ambush.
10:40I'll go in and scout out their positions.
10:42No, no, they'll be expecting that.
10:44Then we go with my plan, yeah?
10:45What is your plan?
10:47We hit them for that blessing they have.
10:49They're coming.
10:55They're coming.
10:58Opti-scan sensors on.
11:00They are in the threes to our left front.
11:07Flank left and right.
11:10Get behind them.
11:11Flashbomb, come in.
11:20Flashbomb, come in.
11:24Oh, they're blinded us.
11:28Head them towards the tram.
11:30Stay tuned.
11:52The Zone Riders will be back.
11:53And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
12:13Tank.
12:14Max.
12:15We're okay.
12:16And now...
12:17Don't move.
12:27I'll get you out.
12:34The commander needs help.
12:47Keep moving, but I can't see.
12:53Your pitiful smoke is useless against my verbal scanners, dog.
13:15Force.
13:17Hold on, men.
13:30Grab my legs.
13:32It's before beauty.
13:34Hurry up, Max.
13:35You don't need to tell me twice.
13:41I think you're putting on weight.
13:44Need a lift?
13:47All right, let's get replacement vehicles for you two from the Eagle.
14:00Ride on.
14:00I feel lost without my ride.
14:02Yeah, I'm with it sometimes you get lost.
14:05Not funny, Tank.
14:06Where is everybody?
14:28Your parents?
14:30Gone.
14:31Like all the rest.
14:32Everyone, the whole town vanished.
14:37What happened?
14:38I don't know.
14:41What I do know is that it's hot and I'm thirsty.
14:44And I could drink a gallon of this stuff.
14:47Please, Max.
14:47May I have some also?
14:48Oh.
14:48Zone.
14:49Let's get to zone.
14:50Max!
14:51Max!
14:52Max!
14:53Where are you going?
14:54Let's get to zone.
14:55Let's get to zone.
14:56Zone.
14:57Zone.
14:58Laws get to zone.
14:59Zone.
15:00Max!
15:01Max!
15:02Where are you going?
15:03Laws get to zone.
15:04Zone.
15:05Commander!
15:06Look at his eyes!
15:07Commander, look at his eyes!
15:09What could have caused this?
15:12It happened right after he drank the lemonade.
15:15Then that must be what happened to the rest of the town.
15:19Including...
15:20Your parents!
15:21I hate to do it, but we don't want you wandering into the zone, my friend.
15:27It is the water used to make the lemonade.
15:30There is a red crystalline substance in the water.
15:44The analyzer cannot identify it.
15:47It made everyone who drank it go into the zone.
15:49Looks like Overlord has a new weapon.
15:51We better learn what it is.
15:53And fast.
15:54I will transmit the data to Dr. Lawrence at MCC.
15:57Here is the spectrographic analysis, Doctor.
16:01We need something to find it.
16:03But no water on Earth will be safe.
16:12Zone spores are definitely involved.
16:14But I'll need an undiluted sample to figure out how to neutralize it.
16:18We'll get it for you, Doctor.
16:24All right.
16:25Here's where the Black Widows are.
16:27As a kid, I explored every inch of these mines.
16:30This one...
16:31As a back entrance.
16:40That stuff works like a charm.
16:42Nothing.
16:43Nothing.
16:44No one can stop me now.
16:47Great!
16:48From now on, we just kick back and let everybody come to us.
16:52Heh heh.
16:53Let's get out of here.
16:55Not yet, Razorback.
16:56Not yet, Razorback.
16:57Now we wait for Courage.
16:59I have something he wants very much.
17:04Find them.
17:05They will get us dirt, Courage.
17:08Berg, your parents!
17:10I know.
17:11We'll try to rescue them when we get that formula.
17:13Now here's what I want you to do, Cat.
17:15Soamriders.
17:21How did they get behind us?
17:25How did they get behind us?
17:30Ha! Waitle Courage sees that Overlord has his folks!
17:40Come on, you two!
17:53Gotcha!
17:55No, you speak before you think, Reaper!
18:03Come out and fight you!
18:19Drex won't save you!
18:21Timing!
18:23No!
18:29No!
18:31No!
18:33No!
18:34No!

18:50No!
18:51No!
18:52No!
18:53No!

19:26No!
19:27No!
19:28No!
19:29No!
19:30You will not even think about it!
19:31Perfect timing, CAT.
19:33Just getting up your orders, Commander.
19:35No, as for you, CAT, get them to safety.
19:40Get them to safety.
19:45Well, what happened?
19:47I will explain later. Come with me.
19:58Oh, boy.
20:00Looks like it's time to get out of here.
20:10Overboard, Razorback, get in.
20:13Yay!
20:15Another day, jerk courage.
20:33Mom, Dad.
20:35At least you can make some more formula, Overlord.
20:41No, you twit!
20:43The zone riders have enough to devise an antidote!
20:47Quiet, both of you.
20:49I've had enough problems for one day.
20:56You did a fine job, my boy.
20:58All of you did.
21:00Yeah, especially Max.
21:01He guarded the tether-boiled pole in the park.
21:05Not funny, Tank.
21:07By tomorrow, Dr. Lawrence will have an antidote.
21:10Overlord's formula will be worthless.
21:13Good. Looks like Overlord got hurt bad on this one.
21:16Yeah.
21:18I'll bet that's the last time he messes with Flint's mouth.
21:30We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:36And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:38And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:39I'll be right back with more Spiral Zone!
21:54For courage, peace, and freedom
21:58We must own
22:01We will fight
22:04On our honor, what is right
22:07We'll defend, fight the zone
22:10Zone riders, Earth's most powerful soldiers
22:14Are Earth's last chance
22:16Against the Spiral Zone
22:21Spiral Zone
