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.

02:06Surprise
02:06Happy birthday
02:13General
02:14I'm truly sorry
02:17Tucker
02:17It was a reflex action
02:19And that's all right
02:20General
02:21At least it was a surprise
02:23I thought you were the black widows
02:25They've broken into my house before
02:26You know
02:27You know
02:27You know
02:42You know
02:47It's all right, Sarah.
03:06Something for the well-dressed men.
03:20Don't make us land.
03:25Bandit!
03:27What is it?
03:28It's the Zone Riders!
03:30Please! Believe us!
03:32Retreat at once!
03:36Go!
03:43It's all right now, Sarah.
03:49Look!
03:53I'm going after them.
03:59Max to Courage. Come in, Commander.
04:16I lost them in the canyon.
04:18Get back here, Max, before we lose you, too.
04:23Well, I guess we're even now, General.
04:25I took a shot at you once indirectly.
04:32Time.
04:41His name is Ned Tucker.
04:42He's Australian.
04:43He has a master's degree in physics, five years in the military, and so far a perfect score on the firing range.
05:02Perfect.
05:07Sorry, General. Must have hit the wrong switch there.
05:10He's also the most undisciplined officer I've ever seen.
05:13But he's a first-class soldier.
05:19We've replaced that target on the firing range.
05:21The new one looks like you.
05:23You are not the only one to be blasted by General McFarlane, Ned.
05:26Sorry, Doctor.
05:39Sorry, Doctor.
05:44Oh.
05:49Katarina, to Courage.
05:59I've destroyed the...
06:04Megan bombing run.
06:15That's it.
06:24My fuel cells are empty.
06:27Come in, Cat. Come in.
06:30Hero to Courage.
06:31Are you ready to restore power?
06:33Break it up, hero.
06:41The zone effect is wearing off.
06:43Call off that bomber wing, Max.
06:45I'm going after Katarina.
06:53Don't.
06:54It's okay, Stephen.
06:56It's all over.
06:59Dirk?
07:05I am glad you are on our side, General.
07:08At least most of the time.
07:09I'm just glad Dirk was there to stop me.
07:18Are they all right?
07:20They're inside.
07:20I want to talk to you, Commander.
07:31I just wanted to thank you for saving my family.
07:34I don't know what I'd do if...
07:36It's all part of the job.
07:38Forget it.
07:38You don't think a military man should have a family, do you, Dirk?
07:44You made your decision.
07:46I made mine.
07:47I just wish I knew which one of us is right.
07:50The Zone Riders are your family.
07:53Does that include you?
07:55Especially me.
07:56The General is not only good with a needler gun,
08:03he's also a martial arts expert.
08:05The old-fashioned kind.
08:06This should be enough to put the whole building to sleep.
08:24Thank you for your help, doctors.
08:30I feel much better now.
08:33I know you can win, Dirk.
08:57I just hope the politicians don't take the meaning out of victory.
09:03Overlord.
09:23Some kind of gas.
09:25We can't stop them.
09:45I give the orders now.
09:49Your orders are destroying us.
09:52How does being in command look to you now?
09:57I've had enough of you.
10:02Overlord.
10:03I've taken over the UN building.
10:06Meet me on the roof with Incruder.
10:09Immediately.
10:10Yes, Overlord.
10:11Where are you, Duchess Dyer?
10:19Come in, Duchess Dyer.
10:21Duchess Dyer!
10:22Oh, my God.
10:23I don't have to go to us, Pedro.
10:24Look...
10:25Come in...
10:26...it's coming in,shit.
10:28Go back.
10:30Back.
10:33No, he's in, ignoranfor.
10:38Hey,ANK God.
10:39Bye.
10:40Bye.
10:43Hey, May I will?
10:45Bye, bye.
10:46Let's go to a long time
10:47Yeah, I can't see where my place is.
10:49I can't see where it is.
10:51The odds are even now.
11:03You're no match for me.
11:11You're just an old man, McFarland.
11:15A desktop general.
11:21Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
11:27And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
11:32You're just an old man, McFarland.
11:36A desktop general.
11:38It's time to fade away, old soldier.
11:52Please.
12:02Don't let me fall.
12:05You're just an old man.
12:25I don't know.
12:55It's the recall signal.
13:09Courage to zone riders. We're pulling out.
13:13But we're almost there.
13:14Worker's next. Worker's.
13:19All back to the U.N.
13:25Perhaps, General, you could teach me the technique you used against Overlord.
13:31I wouldn't recommend it.
13:35You can't get the General to tell you anything, Hero.
13:38Not unless he wants to. He's right, Hero.
13:41Remember when the General didn't want us to know that he'd sent Dirk into the zone?
13:45I'm sorry to have to tell you that Commander Courage's plane has crash-landed in New York.
13:53Where are you going?
13:55I'm surprised you have to ask, Doctor.
13:58To find Commander Courage, of course.
14:01I can't let you do that.
14:03And if we decide to do it anyway, General?
14:05I can order you to stay here.
14:07You would not be doing this without a very good reason, General.
14:11And we deserve to know what it is.
14:16Yes, there is a good reason.
14:19And I guess you do deserve to know what it is.
14:26Maybe he's in there.
14:28Let's take a look.
14:30Don't be stupid, Razerback.
14:32Courage is excellent with a needler.
14:37I guess we'd better keep looking.
14:42This is the new M7 biomolecular computer interface.
14:47Very interesting.
14:48But what has this got to do with the Commander?
14:51Commander Courage has entered the New York zone in an imitation suit
14:54in order to be zoned and captured by Overlord.
14:58What?
14:58What?
15:02A chip like this is implanted just behind his ear.
15:05At the proper time, it will order him in Overlord's voice
15:09to destroy the New York generator.
15:12With that generator out, the U.N. forces can move into the area.
15:17Precisely.
15:17We've been tracking him since he intentionally crash-landed his jet.
15:21Sooner or later, Overlord will find him and take him to his headquarters.
15:25And when he does, we'll trigger the biochip.
15:29Commander's one brave cover, right enough.
15:31It's him.
15:48Something's gone wrong.
15:50The implant has stopped transmitting.
15:52Something's happened to him.
15:54Or to Dirk.
15:54No sign of courage so far, Overlord.
15:59We must find him.
16:02Once I have his suit, I can devise a means to render all of them useless.
16:08I got him.
16:09He's on.
16:10I'm bringing him in.
16:12I always wanted a dog, but he'll do till I get you to Overlord.
16:23I don't care how you do it.
16:25Just bring Dirk back.
16:27We will, General.
16:28You can count on him.
16:29In my day, a soldier never asks questions of a superior officer.
16:40Well, you can't expect everyone to be as spit and polish as you are, General.
16:43I can remember one time when being spit and polish saved my life.
16:54The Airbus is late.
16:56In a few moments, General McFarland will be ours.
17:10Ah, playing nerd made to a lot of nervous diplomats.
17:14The plane's coming in.
17:16Look alive.
17:19Now for the magic touch.
17:22You will no longer be needing this.
17:29Just call me Major.
17:42Welcome aboard, General.
17:44You must have picked up your co-pilot's hat, Major.
17:47You're wearing a captain's...
17:50Get down!
17:52No riders.
17:58Now!
18:00Now!
18:03No maximum crash, and the crew may still be on board.
18:06Wait, please, Railroad.
18:06Stop them!
18:07Hurry!
18:12Hurry!
18:16Hurry!
18:16Hurry!
18:30Done!
18:42Take off, Duchess!
18:49Wait!
18:53Come back, you coward!
19:00They can't hear you, Overlord.
19:18I only wish Overlord hadn't escaped later.
19:21Someday we will get him.
19:25Steven doesn't really mind fighting Overlord.
19:28What he hates is having to send others out to risk their lives.
19:37Time to command the courage.
19:39Only one shell left. I am moving closer.
19:48I read you, Sergeant.
19:49Just make it count.
19:58But if we can't get that wheat to Europe, millions will starve.
20:13But we can't keep them there any longer. They've been fighting for almost 24 hours.
20:19They have to stay. There's no choice. Montreal is critical.
20:26Amy's right. The worst thing is being what Overlord called me. A desktop general.
20:34Hell, I better put Sarah to bed. Say good night to everyone, Sarah.
20:39I'm not sleepy.
20:43You've let your ice cream melt. I've never known you to let food go to waste.
20:52I don't want any ice cream.
20:56What do you think we are doing here? Playing birthday games in the middle of a war?
21:00Tank.
21:01I'll go talk to him.
21:06What's wrong, Tank?
21:07It's March 3rd.
21:09Yes, I know. McFarlane's birthday.
21:11It is also Joseph's birthday.
21:13My son is 11 today.
21:15You think he even knows what day it is?
21:17Inside the Zone?
21:19You'll find him someday, Tank. The Zone writers and I will see that you do.
21:25The Spiral Zone won't last forever.
21:29We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:35And now we return with more Spiral Zone adventure.
21:38Earth's most powerful soldiers fight the Spiral Zone.
21:51Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom. We must own.
22:00We will fight on our honor. What is right? We'll defend. Fight the Zone.
22:10Zone writers, Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:14Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
22:22Spiral Zone.
22:30That's not much miracle, life.
22:31We're brutal, life.
22:32And children, like having the corner of our lives.
22:33Yeah, dużo'.
