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.

00:15To fight the Spiral Zone
00:18Darkness has fallen
00:23On the victims of the zone
00:28Our world calls for courage
00:34Peace and freedom
00:37We love stone

00:53Or Earth's last chance
00:55Against the Spiral
00:58Zone
01:00Spiral
01:04Zone Riders, looks like we're coming to a commercial
01:07Let's fight the Zone
01:11How long to keep her firing, Doc?
01:26Well, according to my calculation
01:28The Zone Ripper's Beam should break through that zone wall
01:33And reach the generator inside
01:34In approximately 11.69 seconds exactly, Dr. Lawrence
01:38Thank you, Ben
01:40Do you think our friend Ben's invention would succeed, Max?
01:46What?
01:46Punch through a zone wall
01:48And still have power enough to do damage at the other end?
01:51Not a year of Sundays, hero, my man
01:53I think Ben missed on this one
01:55What do you know?
02:11It worked
02:12Fantastic
02:13Fantastic
02:14Fantastic
02:15I don't know about this, Linda
02:17Your source told us this was a top-secret test
02:20Look, the people have a right to know what their leaders are up to, Roy
02:23Even in a time of war
02:25Yeah, but we're sending this out to the network live
02:28News is only news when it is new, Roy
02:30Besides, I won't say where we are
02:32I'm not irresponsible, you know
02:34Trust me
02:35Hello
02:41Linda Crane, live on the site of a secret weapons test
02:45Somewhere in the southern United States
02:46I've got it
02:49The transmission's point of origin
02:51Coordinates 6.2 miles south-southeast
02:55Very good, Duchess
02:57Right here in southern Louisiana
03:00Black Widows
03:01Bring me that new weapon
03:03Go
03:04Yeah
03:06Congratulations, Dr. Lawrence
03:24That goes for the Zone Riders, too
03:26Actually, Benjamin Franklin deserves the credit, Dirk
03:30Without his design for the Zone Ripper lens
03:32The cannon is absolutely useless
03:34How long do you mass-produce the Zone Ripper, Doc?
03:37This lens is just a prototype, Max
03:39We'll need...
03:48Zoner blasts
03:49Get your helmets on
03:50Black Widows
03:51Black Widows
03:53Black Widows
03:54How do they find us?
04:07Worry about how later, Tank
04:08Ben
04:09Ben
04:10Net
04:11Protect the Zone Ripper
04:12The rest of you mount up
04:13Defense pattern Alpha Delta
04:14Defense pattern Alpha Delta
04:26But our security was so tight
04:28Someone must have led them to us
04:30A prequel
04:31A prequel
04:32Who must be punished
04:33Overlord's troops
04:35Maybe we better get out of here, Linda
04:37Are you kidding?
04:38And this is the story of my career?
04:39You keep that camera going or you're fired
04:41Lighten that formation, Max
04:42Hero, take the point
04:43We'll drive a wedge right through Overlord's troops
04:45Power me up, mate
04:46Let's see Sheila do his stuff
04:48Sheila?
04:49Sheila!
04:50It's arsy for lady, Benjamin, my boy
04:52And every piece of artillery is a lady in this here arsy's eyes
04:56And every piece of artillery is a lady in this here arsy's eyes
05:26Curse that woman!
05:36Control yourself, Duchess
05:38Temper is so unattractive in a female
05:56Oh no!
06:04I'm...
06:05I'm...
06:06I'm...
06:07I'm...
06:08Took the woods right out of my mouth
06:15I wanted it captured
06:17Not destroyed
06:19Bandit!
06:20Get everyone back here
06:23Withdraw to intrude them!
06:26Oh dear!
06:28Oh dear!
06:29Oh dear!
06:56You've just witnessed an attack by Overlord's black widows, ladies and gentlemen
07:08And this is what they were after
07:10Hey!
07:11Hey you!
07:12What are you doing here?
07:26A top secret project has been destroyed because...
07:30Because you wanted a news story?
07:32Such irresponsibility must be punished!
07:35Yeah?
07:36Well I'll take my chances in court, lady
07:38I have a job to do, just like you
07:40This isn't getting us anywhere
07:42Miss Crane, you and your cameraman are under arrest
07:45Take them to New Orleans sector headquarters
07:47Hey wait a minute, you can't...
07:48Madam, I just did
07:50Breezy is too good for that one
07:52Well the sad thing about her cat
07:54Is she believes what she did was right
07:56You were certain the woman took the Zone Ripper lens?
08:02And the Zone Riders didn't see her do it?
08:05Oui Overlord, it is as I say
08:08They'll take her to their New Orleans headquarters via the Bayou Road
08:13This time I will lead and we will not fail
08:26Roll that tape, Max
08:27We need to know how much of the test went out over the air for Overlord to pick up
08:31Commander, the Zone Ripper lens is gone
08:34Destroyed?
08:35Missing, Commander
08:37We can't even find a fragment, it just isn't here
08:40Uh oh guys, look at this
08:42Little reporter took it
08:44It gets worse
08:45Crook's side, he knows
08:48And what he knows, Overlord knows
08:51Hey!
09:09The lens, give it to me
09:27Yeah, I'll give you this
09:29Take her to Intruder
09:40We'll cover you
09:42Cut off those boats
09:48Come on
09:53C helix Wirson
10:03Tis
10:07One
10:08Two
10:09Activities
10:10Two
10:11Two
10:13Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
10:43And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:57Rosalina to Commander Courage.
11:00Static. Zone interference nearby.
11:04Strong pulse. She will be alright.
11:08We must wait for morning to find a way out.
11:13We must wait for the internet to find a way out of here.
11:19Got a way out of here.
11:28Your hands! It bit you! Quiet!
11:31I'll find a way out of here.
11:39Your hand! It bit you!
11:41Quiet!
11:47Hold this!
12:01I threw out most of the poison.
12:04Most.
12:05But not all.
12:21It's no good, Hero. We've got the Widows pinned down.
12:24And they have us pinned down.
12:26A most ironic situation.
12:31Come in. You think Katarina made it through okay?
12:41I don't know, Max. We've got to break out of here and find out.
12:45I have a suggestion.
12:46Let's hear it.
12:47Let's hear it.
12:49Let's hear it.
12:50Let's hear it.
12:51Let's hear it.
12:55Oh!
12:56Ah, poor old meats. Not as much fun when they don't shoot back, eh, mon ami?
13:19Bandit, use your thermo-scanner.
13:24That is strange. Why are they not...
13:47She's firing. We're shooting at each other.
13:51And you, they are going after the swam boats. After them.
14:21You should have let him get you. That's the second time you saved my life.
14:28Re-responsibility. You, you would not understand.
14:35You, you would not understand.
14:42We found Catalina's zone rider cycle two kilometers back, Commander.
14:49Uh, nothing else so far. Keep me posted, Tank.
14:56Is there trouble behind us, Commander?
14:57We'll have to lose them.
14:58Is there trouble behind us, Commander?
14:59We'll have to lose them.
15:05We'll have to lose them.
15:12We'll have to lose them.
15:13We'll have to lose them.
15:19We'll have to lose them.
15:20We'll have to lose them.
15:22We'll have to lose them.
15:26Look, I never meant any harm.
15:33Getting the story just seemed more important than anything else.
15:42Look.
15:44Look, I never meant any harm.
15:52Getting the story just seemed more important than anything else.
15:55Look, when I was growing up, reporters were my heroes.
16:00They seemed so brave, the way they found out secrets and told the truth.
16:04But I guess there's more than one kind of bravery in the world,
16:08and maybe more than one kind of truth.
16:11What I'm trying to say is I'm sorry.
16:14Oh, but there!
16:26Bandit, Duchess, take the point.
16:29Go!
16:38That's them.
16:39Katrina and that girl reporter.
16:42Tank, Ben, Hero.
16:43Coordinate's 82.318.
16:47Uh-oh.
16:47Check it out.
16:48Black Widows.
16:49No time for reinforcements.
16:51Six of them, three of us.
16:53Always did love a big income fight.
16:55Oh, boy.
17:00All right.
17:05Oh, boy!
17:07Oh!
17:09Oh!
17:10Oh!
17:13Oh!
17:14Oh!
17:16Oh!
17:17Oh!
17:17Oh!
17:17Oh!
17:18Ah, a bonus, the Zone Ripper Lens and a Zone Rider.
17:39No good, Overlord will be delighted.
17:44No!
17:48Did you see that?
17:55What can they do?
17:57They're outnumbered.
17:59That does not stop Zone Riders.
18:02Get them!
18:09Sofuey!
18:12Catarina!
18:15The tank and the others are on their way, Max.
18:22All we gotta do is hold out till they get here, right?
18:29Yeah, he's a tank.
18:36Yeah, he's a tank.
18:38Yeah, he's a tank.
18:47Yeah, he's a tank.
18:55Yeah, he's a tank.
19:03Yeah!
19:05Catarina, tell me how to help.
19:18Use lens! Focus! Need one!
19:21But the lens is cracked!
19:23Do it!
19:48The reporter!
19:50We'll all be a flat-footed shot.
19:52Oh, there's no way to get through that!
19:54Oh, withdraw!
20:18Ah! The lens! It was cracked!
20:25Now it's gone!
20:27Are you hurt?
20:29Oh, never mind me! Katarina!
20:32Kat?
20:43Is she gonna be okay?
20:45The doctor says she'll be fine.
20:48I wish I could say the same for the Zone Ripper lens.
20:51It'll be months before we can make another.
20:54She saved my life.
20:56She was so brave.
20:57Well, you were pretty brave yourself.
20:59And because of your help in the bayou,
21:01I have a feeling the military court's gonna let you off with a warning.
21:05Me? Brave? I was scared stiff.
21:09There is more than one kind of bravery in the world.
21:12And more than one kind of truth.
21:22Perhaps we have each learned a new truth, my new friend.
21:27We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:34And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:39Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:52Our world calls for courage, peace and freedom.
22:02We must own.
22:05We will fight on our honor.
22:08What is right?
22:10We'll defend.
22:11Fight the Zone.
22:12Zone riders.
22:13Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:16Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:25Spiral Zone.
22:27.
