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.

02:18Oh, that'll keep them zoned when we're underwater.
02:37Get them below.
02:38We'll need them.
02:39This sub is not computer-controlled as the carrier is.
02:43Move in behind, intruder-net.
02:48Launch the zone pod.
03:18We've been hit.
03:23A bear didn't come blunder, I'd say.
03:25They're supposed to shoot the bear guy.
03:33Prepare for crash landing.
03:35Ned, there's a zone generator.
03:37As long as we're in the neighborhood, I thought you might like to take it out.
03:41Move in behind.
03:44Land, move in.
03:48Land, move in.
03:57Hack on the boat.
04:00Get out the boat.
04:05This is the building.
04:08Let's dive.
04:09modelo.
04:09The carrier is ours.
04:39Overlord's got the U.S.S. Constitution.
04:46He's taking the submarine, too.
04:48Aye, the Tiger Shark.
04:50But what would he want with them?
04:51Whatever it is, we're going to stop him.
04:54Somehow.
05:03This hovercraft is the fastest pursuit ship the Navy's got.
05:07We'll need it.
05:08Overlord's got an hour's head start.
05:17Mmm, that's good.
05:19You want some?
05:21Oh, that's not fit for a pig.
05:24One second thought.
05:25It is fit for a pig.
05:28Attention, Black Widows.
05:30Operation Zone Wall is beginning.
05:32Planted in a line running the length of the Atlantic.
05:45These automatically armed generators will form a stone wall between the United States and Europe.
05:51Each will be easier to conquer.
05:56When that day comes, give me Europe.
05:58I have scores to spend.
06:00I've got a fix on something.
06:12And it's got a fix on us.
06:14Oh, it's an armed zone generator.
06:17Zone generator?
06:18In the blinking Atlantic Ocean?
06:20Uh-oh, and it's targeting computer is locked on us.
06:26It's programmed to blast the closest thing that moves.
06:29Commander, if I draw its fire on my cycle, it might give you a chance to get a shot at it.
06:34Ben?
06:36It should work.
06:37If it doesn't, get Max first.
06:39Thanks for the word of encouragement.
06:40You guys think you can hurry it up?
07:03Over here!
07:21Touch is dire.
07:22A zone generator has been destroyed.
07:25It must be the Zone Rider.
07:28Find them.
07:29With great pleasure, O' Lord.
07:32How lovely, sitting ducks.
07:37Prepare to launch torpedoes.
07:40Torpedo number one, fire!
07:47Incoming torpedo.
07:49Ed, get us out of here.
07:50No, we wait.
07:54We can say goodbye to the Zone Riders.
07:57On my signal, full speed ahead.
08:07Beautiful!
08:08A direct hit!
08:10Now, Ned!
08:14She's right under us, Commander.
08:16Will you step charges, Commander?
08:17No, we'll need the sub to go after the carrier.
08:20We have to force them to surface.
08:22If Max will take over the helm, I think I can bring him up, Commander.
08:26All right, go to it, Ned.
08:27What's that?
08:41Oh, sounds like my overhead Cam 6 throwing a rod.
08:46Engine trouble?
08:48Surface at once!
08:49Now, fix whatever it is, Sorb!
08:57Well, if it isn't broke, Dutchess, don't fix it.
09:00They're alive!
09:02The Zone Riders are alive!
09:04Turn this ship around!
09:07I have to deal with the Zone Riders once and for all!
09:11Move away, Sailor.
09:12No, you don't!
09:16My mama didn't raise no dummies.
09:19You mean besides you!
09:27Look!
09:28A mini Zone Generator!
09:29Now we can find out how these things work!
09:32Nein!
09:33Overlord booby traps those things!
09:35If you try to take it apart, it will explode!
09:38Then we've no choice, mate.
09:39We've got to get rid of it.
09:40Ach, Deliba!
09:41Oh, you have triggered it!
09:43I'm begging your pardon.
09:44Hot staff coming through!
09:52Max, get the vehicle stowed into the loading bag.
09:55Right away, Commander.
09:57Hey, I got a great idea.
09:59How about if I follow in the hovercraft?
10:01What for?
10:02There's something else.
10:04What is it, Max?
10:05Nothing.
10:06It's just that I didn't sign up for submarine service.
10:09That's all.
10:10Right, Max.
10:11Do you think it is going to leak?
10:15Driving, all hatches secure.
10:18Commander, I appreciate you free enough, but I'm in charge of the tiger shark.
10:22And I'm in charge of this mission, Captain O'Malley.
10:25Overlord is using the Constitution to create a zone wall the length of the Atlantic.
10:29And we have got to stop it.
10:31And we will.
10:32But you command your people, and I'll command my ship.
10:36All right, Commander?
10:37All right, Captain.
10:38You know, I began my Navy career on the Constitution.
10:43When the time comes, I can be helpful.
10:46We found the Constitution!
10:49Rig for silent running!
10:50Prepare for attack!
10:52Oh, you coward!
10:53Hiding behind a woman.
10:56You're counting on the fact that Overlord would never attack this sub while I'm on it.
11:02What's going on?
11:04You were saying, Duchess?
11:07It's intruder.
11:08It's dropping depth charges.
11:18Emergency dive!
11:27I calculated the stress on the hull, Commander.
11:30Another depth charge like that will blow us wide open!
11:36Overlord, this is bad.
11:37The Zone Riders will travel up no more!
11:45Stay tuned.
11:46The Zone Riders will be back.
11:51And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
12:04Keep releasing the debris and oil!
12:07What is it, Max?
12:10I was embarrassed to tell you, Commander.
12:13I'm claustrophobic.
12:14I can't stand to be cooped up anywhere where I can't get out.
12:18I am sorry, Max.
12:19I did not know.
12:21But your room at MCC is much smaller than on the sub.
12:24Yeah, but there I can open a door.
12:27The carrier's moving away.
12:28All right!
12:29All right!
12:30All right, Jets!
12:31All hands stand out!
12:33Restore normal running mode.
12:35I ain't eatin' that.
12:38It's cooked!
12:40If this place is too small, look, I can touch both walls at the same time!
12:47Hmm, I knew you were good for something.
12:51You just gave me an idea.
12:54Huh?
12:55Guard, come quickly!
12:57Something's wrong!
12:58What's going on here?
13:04Hey, where's Big and Ugly?
13:07Whoa!
13:09No!
13:12Let's get a moon board.
13:16What are you doing?
13:18Pulling the tiger shark's teeth.
13:21And now, let's get out of here!
13:23Let's get out of here!
13:37Let's get out of here!
13:38Let's get out of here!
13:41They'll warn Overlord.
13:42Is there any way to catch up with them?
13:44Not before they reach the carrier.
13:47Overlord, you've dead charged the submarine when you knew I was on it!
13:51Of course, Duchess.
13:53But only because I have observed your great talent for escape and survival.
13:59You made it possible for me to do it.
14:02We have no choice, Captain.
14:04Send her to the bottom.
14:06Sager stations!
14:07Prepare torpedoes!
14:10The torpedoes won't arm, Captain.
14:12Find the trouble and fix it!
14:15I'm sorry, Commander.
14:17Without that circuitry, forget the torpedoes!
14:20Is this submarine equipped for ramming?
14:23Of course!
14:24We can ram!
14:25Ah, I can do it.
14:27We'll have the surface, and the zone will get me.
14:30I'll be useless to you.
14:32None of my plan works.
14:33Bring the tiger shark to just below the surface.
14:36It's courage!
14:57Get him!
14:58Surface, prepare to ram.
15:00Everyone, brace for ramming!
15:02Once we're aboard the Constitution, get the tiger shark out of here!
15:07The elevators are over there!
15:32The Black Widows will figure we'll be coming that way.
15:41They'll probably be waiting for us topside.
15:43And that copter pack carried two people.
15:44Oh, shit!
15:49Top floor coming up, low-life scum and other assorted bad guys.
15:53Top floor coming up, low-life scum and other assorted bad guys.
15:54This way to weapons controls!
15:55Ned, take the laser cannon controls!
15:56Right, mate.
15:57Uh, I mean man.
15:58Ready?
15:59Fire!
16:00Fire!

16:46Fire!
16:47Fire!
16:48Fire!
16:49Fire!
16:50Fire!
16:51We did that?
16:52No, it was the ammunition magazine.
16:55This ship won't last much longer.
16:59The only way we're going to get off this ship is in one of their carrier aircraft.
17:03Not the way she's sailing by the stern.
17:05Up here takeoff runs don't work too well.
17:08That's right.
17:08If the flight doesn't tilt anymore, you won't be able to get a plane going fast enough to take off.
17:13I could flood the forward compartments to level the flight deck.
17:16Good idea.
17:16Go with her, Ben.
17:17Yes, sir.
17:21Where to now?
17:30The flood controls are in that compartment.
17:35It's tight.
17:42Yeah!
17:46Help!
17:48Ben!
17:49Help!
17:51Ben and Caitlyn are in trouble.
17:57I'll go, Commander.
17:58It's pretty close quarters down there, Max.
18:00I'll deal with it.
18:07Yeah!
18:10Come on!
18:11He's one deck below us.
18:12Down this way.
18:13I'm ready to leave any time you are, guys.
18:22We must be farther on, but we can't go down here.
18:26Maybe we can get to him through this electrical access stuff.
18:28Not much room in there.
18:29Not much room in there.
18:34What if it's flooded, too?
18:35It won't be.
18:36It's watertight.
18:39Are you all right?
18:44I'm dealing with it.
18:47Down this way!
18:48Thanks, I thought I was a goner.
19:00Get out of here.
19:02Find them in front of the sea.
19:05We're out open, Quake.
19:06Let's join the party.
19:07And I know just how to do it.
19:08Come on!
19:09Right open, Quake.
19:13Right open, Quake.
19:15There's join the party.
19:16And I know just how to do it.
19:18Come on!
19:35Nice going, Captain.
19:37Thanks, but it's double ugly,
19:39Who's gonna be going?
19:46The ship is sinking rapidly, Overlord.
19:49And the Zone Rider's with it.
19:52But not us.
19:53We draw to the intruder.
20:00They do not like the idea of going down with the ship.
20:04Neither do I.
20:05Ned, you've got to fly us out of here.
20:06Come on.
20:09Let's hustle it, people.
20:26Ned, you've got enough speed.
20:42We're soon for death, ain't it?
20:44The only way to fly.
20:46Come on.
20:50Come on.
20:51Come on.
20:58Thanks again, Captain O'Malley.
21:05We couldn't have stopped Overlord's plan without you.
21:07Ah, it was my pleasure, Commander Courage.
21:10And I'm happy to say that Tiger Shark will be repaired and seaworthy in a few days.
21:15We're beefing up defenses at all our military installations.
21:18Overlord won't be able to steal anything from now on.
21:22So, uh, tell me, how did the Zone Riders like submarine duty?
21:28They, uh, dealt with it.
21:30We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:41We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
21:44We'll be right back with more Spiral Zone action.
22:14Fight the Zone, fight the Zone Riders.
22:17Earth's most powerful soldiers are Earth's last chance
22:21against the Spiral Zone.
22:28Spiral Zone.
22:30Spiral Zone.
22:48Spiral Zone.
