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 â a must-watch for fans of retro action and sci-fi animation.

00:00Surrender or pay the consequences.
00:30Cause for courage, peace and freedom, we are stoned.
00:39We will fight on our honor.
00:42What is right?
00:43We'll defend.
00:45Fight the zone.
00:46Zone brightest.
00:48Earth's most powerful soldiers.
00:50Or Earth's last chance against the spiral zone.
00:59Spirals up.
01:01Zone writers, looks like we're coming to a commercial.
01:08Let's fight the zone.
01:17If we add a drop of diluted calcium carbonate to our mixture from yesterday,
01:23you'll see a slight amount of foam.
01:26Watch. We souped up the formula.
01:43James and Janet Pierce, you did this, didn't you?
01:46Us?
01:47Oh, no, sir.
01:56Attention.
01:57Overlord and the Black Widows are landing in the schoolyard.
02:00All children to their rooms immediately.
02:02This is not a drill.
02:04Brook, Reaper, Razorback, come with me.
02:08The rest of you stand guard around the school.
02:20Find them.
02:26Pine Grove Boarding School in Denver calling MCC.
02:29Emergency. Emergency.
02:31We believe he's after Dr. Pierce's children, James and Janet, Commander.
02:37That makes sense, General.
02:38Dr. Pierce is trying to reconstruct the zone generator from the wreckage of ones we destroyed.
02:43And if he succeeds, Overlord is finished.
02:45He must want the children as hostages to force Dr. Pierce to stop his work.
02:49Well, he won't get them. We'll see to that.
02:59Overlord, the zone riders are approaching an eagle.
03:02Take care of them.
03:04The Pierce children, you've located them?
03:07In here.
03:08In here.
03:24Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
03:33That does it.
03:34Come here, you.
03:39Get them!
03:49Better take care of these plague-land bullies.
04:04I got you now, you little brats.
04:09There. On the fire escape.
04:12There. On the fire escape.
04:25Refer to Izuda.
04:27The Black Widows are getting away!
04:40Never mind. The children are our first concern.
04:46The Pierce children are safe, General. We'll bring them back to MCC.
04:49Good work, Commander. Your children are safe, Dr. Pierce.
04:53Thank you, General McFarland. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to them.
04:59Well, we don't want to go to MCC.
05:01Our class is going to the zoo this week.
05:04It is for your own protection.
05:06We can take care of ourselves.
05:11At MCC, there's nothing to do.
05:13And Daddy's always too busy working to spend any time with us.
05:16Yeah, that's why we're in boarding school.
05:18At least there, we have plenty of kids to play with.
05:22Oh, hey, kids. Want to look around the eagle?
05:24Sure.
05:25Yeah, all right.
05:26Well, this tells us how much fuel we have.
05:28And this shows how high we are.
05:30And this is the compass so Ned knows where he's going.
05:34Um, what does this do?
05:36Uh-uh. Sorry, little mates. That's strictly hands-off.
05:39That controls our speed.
05:41And Ned controls the controls.
05:43And here's another hands-off item.
05:48A fuel evacuation level.
05:50And in an emergency, we can dump all the fuel.
05:55If this plane runs out of gas, it'll have to land before we get to MCC.
05:59Yeah, and then we can go back to school and go to the zoo.
06:04And here we keep a running check on weather and landing conditions.
06:09And this device is even more interesting.
06:13What the...
06:16Hey! We lost our fuel!
06:21We're going down!
06:28Hold on.
06:31You can put it down in that canyon up ahead.
06:33Yeah, right.
06:34If we can make it over this mountain...
06:35Zone riders to MCC. Come in, MCC.
06:50Ah, it's no good, Commander. Too much interference from the storm.
06:53Well, then we'll have to get the kids out of here on our own.
06:56Better unload the vehicles.
06:57Oh, you might want to have a look at this, Commander.
07:00Looks like a bit of sabotage, sir.
07:02Uh-huh.
07:03And it's not hard to figure out who the culprits were.
07:06Now, you kids were told not to touch anything.
07:08You are very lucky no one was hurt.
07:12I'm sorry, Commander Courage. You didn't mean to.
07:15Can we go back to school now?
07:17No. We're going to MCC as planned.
07:22Tank, I'm really sorry about what happened.
07:25Yeah, yeah, I understand. You will not do it again.
07:28No way. What's that knob for?
07:31This? It adjusts the steering.
07:34I've located the Eagle Overlord. The Zone riders can't be far.
07:39We'll land and wait. Easy to locate once the storm has passed.
07:54Commander, we better stop soon. The kids are pretty cold.
07:58I see a cave. 200 meters ahead.
08:17Thanks for telling me all about the stuff on your s-s-cycle tank.
08:23Hero, take the first watch.
08:24Overlord isn't likely to attack in this weather, but, uh, keep your eyes open.
08:28Hi, Commander.
08:37Janet! You awake?
08:39Shh! Don't let Hero hear you.
08:41Without their vehicles, they can't make us go to MCC.
09:00Come on, kids. We'll be at MCC in time for breakfast.
09:03Alright, let's move out.
09:06Courage! Surrender the children to me!
09:08Tank, Max, give the kids to Katarina. We'll hit Overlord and the Black Widows on my signal. Kat, as soon as we've got all their attention, make a run for it.
09:12You have 30 seconds, Courage!
09:13Now!
09:14You have 30 seconds, Courage!
09:15Now!
09:17You have 30 seconds, Courage!
09:21Tank, Max, give the kids to Katarina.
09:23We'll hit Overlord and the Black Widows on my signal.
09:26Kat, as soon as we've got all their attention, make a run for it.
09:29You have 30 seconds, courage!
09:33Now!
09:45What the...
09:47Ow! Hey, what the heck!
09:51Weeper, bring an intruder.
10:01Oh, weeper.
10:05We must go! Hold on tight!
10:13No, you don't!
10:16We can't stand it!
10:17We can't! Ow!
10:21What's wrong with this blinkin'?
10:27Whoa!
10:31Whoa!
10:32Ha-ha! I've got you now, courage!
10:46Come on! Think on somebody your own side!
10:54Overlord, intruders damaged!
10:56Make repairs and meet us at the rendezvous point.
10:59Fall back!
11:01Regroup at the cave!
11:07Commander!
11:08Bandit has taken the children!
11:14Excellent!
11:15They're in the cave!
11:17Direct your fire above the entrance!
11:19Bloody Armanage!
11:34Bloody Armanage!
11:45Stay tuned. The Zone Riders will be back.
11:47And now we return with more Spiral Zone action.
11:55Settle down and behave.
11:57Or else...
11:58Lego!
11:59All we want to do is go back to school.
12:02Do?
12:04I went to one, won't you?
12:06Why, school is where we were planning to take you, dears.
12:13As soon as we got you away from those horrible Zone Riders.
12:18Oh, yeah?
12:19You were trying to take us away from school before.
12:22Yeah.
12:22Because we knew the Zone Riders were coming to catch you.
12:26We only wanted to protect you.
12:29Oh, well...
12:30Okay. But you take us back to school right away.
12:36Excellent, Duchess.
12:38You've got them to cooperate.
12:40Hmm.
12:41A little lie can sometimes go a long way.
12:51Good morning, Dr. Pierce.
12:53Overlord.
12:54Yes.
12:55It is I.
12:57And I am not alone.
13:00James! Janet!
13:02Overlord, let them go.
13:03I will.
13:05Providing you bring all the data on your work.
13:08To me.
13:10At Long Valley.
13:11But that's impossible.
13:13They were afraid this would happen.
13:15They posted a guard outside my door.
13:17I'm sure you'll find a way.
13:19Leave nothing behind.
13:21No data cubes.
13:22No copies.
13:23I'll call you when I reach Long Valley.
13:26All right.
13:27Just don't hurt...
13:27No, my children.
13:29Come on.
13:38Don't blame yourself, Cat.
13:40It wasn't your fault.
13:41We'll get the kids back.
13:43Yeah, and when we do,
13:44I will give them both a good talking to
13:46about what they did to our vehicles.
13:49Hey, this isn't the way back to school.
13:52Shut up, you little brat.
13:54You lied to us.
13:56Oh, my.
13:57Did I read?
13:59How shameful.
14:02He missed Overlord.
14:17What's that knob on the controls do?
14:19Try them up.
14:22Janet.
14:22James.
14:24If you've harmed them, Overlord.
14:25Your children are well, for the moment.
14:31Now, bring all your data to me.
14:37These vehicles have to hold up, Tank.
14:40They will do fine, Commander.
14:42Right.
14:43Down here with a tailwind,
14:44as long as we don't have to fight anybody.
14:46Data copies to Cube.
14:57All data erased from memory.
14:59I've got to do it.
15:01For James and Janet.
15:08Guard!
15:09Help!
15:10Fire!
15:10Fire!
15:10Fire!
15:11Fire!
15:11Fire!
15:15Hurry before it spreads!
15:28Fire!
15:32He is coming, as I knew he would.
15:39Those spikes look sharp enough to cut us loose
15:45Let's get to work
16:04Here's everything on the zone generator project
16:09There are no copies
16:11Now let my children go
16:13I think not, Doctor
16:17I dislike splitting up families
16:19And I know you'll give us no trouble on our trip
16:22If the children are with us
16:24Razorback, that's just dire
16:30God, Doctor Pierce
16:32The rest of you, follow me
16:34Oh, here they come
16:37What do you think we should do it?
16:40Pying them with a prince
16:42Daddy
16:43James, Janet
16:47Are you alright?
16:50Yeah, we're okay
16:51But she lied to us
16:54Oh, ain't that touching
16:56A family reunion
16:58Now move it
16:59I only wish there was some way we could all get away
17:05There is, Dad
17:06We goofed up their backpacks
17:08Yeah, their vehicles, too
17:10Were you little darlings
17:13On the count of three

17:18One

18:14Only the black widows were no match for theirs, Keats.
18:26No one escapes my snapper claws.
18:31I can't control them.
18:33No!
18:38My guns are jammed.
18:44Hey, look out!
19:03Keep down!
19:05Nice shooting, Duchess.
19:06Looks like I got here just in time.
19:24Withdraw to Intruder!
19:26Reaper, keep the Zone Riders away!
19:30Starburst Pattern, bullets!
19:31That one more way, Commander?
19:49Are you all right?
19:51Yes.
19:52Thanks to all of you.
19:54That's you too, Daddy.
19:55You need to spend more time with them and exercise a little discipline.
20:11I think their pranks are simply a bid for attention, Dr. Pierce.
20:14You're right, Commander.
20:16I never knew how much I missed them until it was almost too late.
20:20Thank you all.
20:21And I'll start on the Zone Generator Reconstruction Project again.
20:28Hey, how would you kids like a tour of MCC in my new staff car?
20:34Nope.
20:35Not right now.
20:36All right, driver.
20:37Take me to operations.
20:38James and Janet Pierce, you did this.
20:57Who?
20:58Us?
20:58No, no way.
20:59Must have been somebody else.
21:02Well, Commander, I think it's time to exercise that discipline you were talking about.
21:07Discipline?
21:09You mean like spanking?
21:12No, that's an interesting thought.
21:14See you later.
21:16But Dad, no, it was an accident.
21:19He did it.
21:20Janet did it.
21:23Those kind of have a lot of spunk.
21:26We'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.
21:49Our world calls for courage, peace, and freedom.
21:59We must own.
22:00We will fight on our honor.
22:05What is right?
22:07We'll defend.
22:08Fight the Zone.
22:10Zone riders.
22:11Earth's most powerful soldiers.
22:14Our Earth's last chance against the Spiral Zone.
