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.

01:00Against the Spiral Zone...
01:06Spiral Zone...
01:08Zone writers, looks like we're coming to a commercial.
01:15Let's fight the zone.
01:17To be continued...
01:33Prepare...
01:35They are heading right into the trap.
01:37You're my traps.
01:40Hero, take the point.
01:50Hike, Commander.
01:51Let's see.
01:56Counter-Papa.
02:05Take your hands off.
02:07Omega Formation.
02:23We need cover.
02:27Tank.
02:28Zoners.
02:28Six o'clock.
02:29They are all for none of them, Commander.
02:32Men, behind you.
02:36Correction, Commander.
02:37They were behind me.
02:44Commander, we have to get to that anti-matter device.
02:47If Overlord can unlock its secrets, he can create zones of unlimited size.
02:54Yeah, but first, we gotta get out of this.
02:56Beginning anti-matter test, critical phase.
03:10I think we have them.
03:27Let's make sure.
03:29I want all space personnel in battle.
03:34Bandit to all Zonar personnel.
03:36Seize all present activities.
03:38And join the fight.
03:40That is an order.
04:02Commander, they're all done.
04:05And down the street.
04:08There's too many of them.
04:10We've got to fall back outside the zone.
04:14I think maybe we can rain on that pariah.
04:27Now, bullets.
04:28This one is mine.
04:46This one is mine.
04:47We've got to fall back.
04:54We've got to fall back.
05:01We've got to fall back.
05:01This's mine.
05:02We've got to fall back.
05:03I'm not sure.
05:04Accept and Method.
05:04I don't know.
05:05I'm not sure you're going to fall back.
05:05I'm not sure.
05:09Family, although you're not sure you've come back.
05:10I might not know.
05:11Let me know.
05:12Let me know again.
05:12Look.
05:12Let me know again.
05:13A little bit.
05:13We're in the inner city.
05:14We can do some people.
05:15Plastic Zone Riders and their tricks.
05:37The Zone Riders will be back, and we will be ready.
05:41Something's wrong at the Antimatter Research Building.
05:53I didn't tell you to order the scientists into the battle!
05:57Nor did you tell me not to!
06:00You fool.
06:03Thanks to you, the Antimatter Device has reached a critical phase.
06:08There must be some way to correct it?
06:09Perhaps.
06:11Then again.
06:14It could destroy much of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado.
06:20Here, look at this satellite feed.
06:24Our readings confirm a matter-antimatter imbalance.
06:28It could explode within the hour.
06:30I want you out of there.
06:32But, General, there are hundreds of innocent zoned people in that complex.
06:36At least let us try to get them out.
06:38Yeah, and there is a way to control the problem.
06:41Quite.
06:41Theoretically, there is one small chance.
06:44The complex had developed an advanced solar cell before it was zoned.
06:48But it has never been tested.
06:50It simply might not work.
06:51But what we should try.
06:53If we could focus enough compacted solar radiation into the cell, we could fuse the matter-antimatter interaction.
07:00Someone want to put this into English?
07:02Certainly.
07:03No explosion, mate.
07:04All right.
07:06You've got 30 minutes.
07:08No more.
07:09Then we'd better move.
07:11Come on.
07:18Overlord.
07:20Perhaps the solar cell could correct the situation.
07:24But we're not going to stay to find out.
07:27Then I will pull the Black Widows out.
07:31No.
07:32They must remain to keep the Zone Riders from stopping the explosion.
07:38But if the Black Widows stay,
07:42they will be here when...
07:44Yes, but so will the Zone Riders.
07:49Sometimes, victory requires sacrifices.
07:54All right.
08:02Let's go over the plan again.
08:04Tank and oil destroy the xanxinerite.
08:07And the three of us will secure the antimatter device.
08:10While the commander and I get the solar cell.
08:12Da.
08:13Then we use it to stop the antimatter machine from exploding.
08:17We hope.
08:18Now remember, Ned.
08:19Unless you knock out the Zone Generator,
08:21no sunlight can get to the solar cell.
08:23And goodbye, Monument Theater.
08:26Well, neither, thanks.
08:33I don't like the looks of this.
08:35Where is everybody?
08:37Yeah, it's too quiet.
08:46We're out and up now.
08:49Hit it!
08:50Razorback, they're heading your way.
08:56Hey, let it camp.
09:02Commander Spears!
09:05Head for the experimental wind station.
09:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, perfect!
09:30They're sealing us in!
09:43They're sealing us in!
09:43Nice!
09:43Come and bring your weapons on the blades!
09:58Come and bring your weapons on the blades!
10:00Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
10:23And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
10:53Cat, just hold on a few seconds.
10:59Cat, hang on.
11:04It's thrown away. It's thrown on Baron.
11:07It's gonna blow. Head down.
11:23Everybody okay?
11:31Bah, thanks to you, Commander.
11:34Oh, for a moment there, I felt like a butterfly in a typhoon.
11:39It's gonna be worse than a hundred typhoons.
11:42If that antimatter device explodes, we gotta move.
11:53Come, we will join Reaper at the Solar Lab.
12:05No, not till I find my sledgehammer tank.
12:14Looks like we were expected.
12:23There's an overhang halfway around. Perfect cover.
12:36Yeah, but first we must get there.
12:42How lovely.
12:44They're riding right into...
12:50A blooming minefield.
12:53Good thing we only had two vehicles.
13:00Yeah, now all we have to do is get across the minefield, scale the clip, avoid being shoved.
13:03Good thing we only had two vehicles.
13:04Yeah, now all we have to do is get across the minefield, scale the clip, avoid being shoved.
13:08And blow up the generator.
13:09Capitaine, Mike. Grab out.
13:10Capitaine, Mike.
13:11Grab out.
13:12Capitaine, Mike.
13:13Capitaine, Mike.
13:14Grab out.
13:15Capitaine, Mike.
13:19Grab out.
13:20Capitaine, Mike.
13:21Get out.
13:22Capitaine, Mike.
13:23Capitaine, Mike.
13:24Ah!
13:25Ah!
13:26My ankle!
13:27I am afraid.
13:28I cannot continue, my friend.
13:30Me neither.
13:31Without my copter, Beck, I've got no way to get after that generator.
13:32I'm afraid.
13:33I cannot continue, my friend.
13:38Me neither.
13:39Without my copter, Beck, I've got no way to get after that generator.
13:49But I do.
13:50I hope you like mountain climbing.
13:52Well, I'm afraid I cannot continue, my friend.
13:56Me neither. Without my copter, Beck, I've got no way to get up to that generator.
14:01But I do.
14:03I hope you like mountain climbing.
14:16Hurry. We do not have much time. I will cover you.
14:21Thanks, mate.
14:22Hold the fort, Max. I'll get the solar cell.
14:46Why do I always get the fun jobs?
14:49You're coming with me.
15:05Don't even think about it.
15:07Overlord knew that you'd be after the solar cell.
15:10It's the only way to keep the antimatter device from exploding.
15:14A likely story. Drop your needler.
15:19Besides, if that were true, you'd be long gone by now.
15:23Reaper, you'll never understand.
15:25And I don't have time to explain it.
15:27One solar cell on the way.
15:40Come on, Max.
15:41The others should be entering the antimatter lab any minute.
15:44They are heading for the antimatter building.
16:09We must stop them.
16:19Now what?
16:20There is an old Russian saying,
16:22if the front door is locked,
16:23go through the window.
16:24They're inside.
16:38They're inside.
16:52Oh, it's worse than I thought.
17:12The imbalance.
17:13That won't hold them, Nettie.
17:24Look.
17:25We don't have very long.
17:27The readings are going off the scale.
17:29It's getting ready to blow.
17:33Let's just hope Tank and Ned are on schedule.
17:35They are getting bored now.
17:47Tank, you worry too much.
17:49You will not take this generator.
17:59Ned!
18:00Ned!
18:00You are mine now, Zoon Rider.
18:13Hold on, Ned!
18:15Hold on!
18:20Sure, mate.
18:22This is just part of the plan.
18:25Just not the part I planned on.
18:27Hurry, Ned.
18:29I'm on my way, mate.
18:32It's getting worse.
18:35Much worse.
18:47They are freaking blue.
18:49Commander, there!
19:00We'll have to fight our way in.
19:03There isn't time.
19:10It's starting!
19:11It appears the antimatter device is going critical.
19:18How unfortunate the Zoon Riders couldn't stop it.
19:24Overlord's antimatter device is going to explode.
19:28He knew this would happen.
19:30We must get away at once.
19:32Oh, get out of my way!
19:37Overlord will pay for this.
19:44We've got to get out of here.
19:45Do the helicopter!
19:46What's that?
19:47Oh, my God.
20:17They've stopped firing.
20:22The zone's gone.
20:26This is it.
20:37Hurry, Commander.
20:42Get the solar cell into the sunlight and aim it at the antimatter device.
20:46It's not working.
20:47The solar cell.
20:59The cell can't take the energy overload.
21:02Everyone all right?
21:14I... I think so.
21:16What happened?
21:17It worked!
21:19We did it!
21:20The energy complex is on our side again.
21:32Course.
21:33Like I said, mate.
21:35Capacity.
21:35We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:44And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:47Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:58Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.
22:06We will fight on our honor.
22:14What is right?
22:16We'll defend.
22:17Fight the zone.
22:18Zone riders.
22:20Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:23Our Earth's last chance
22:24against the Spiral Zone.
22:31Spiral Zone.
