As one of the first films to mix traditional animation and computer, this feature follows the lives of a society of slaves, mining for red crystals in the bowels of a mutant world. One day, a young man named Orin happens to come across the hilt to a sword (Think Light Saber) buried in the ore, who's blade is all shiny and magical. He decides to use it to slaughter some of the guards and escape to the surface, then slaughter some mutants (Human/robot things), then take off to see the Universe in a space ship with a fella that's a bit like Han Solo.
Ignore the huge rip off, watch it as a 3D treat (I would if I could find that version) and revel in the delight that is 80's Sci-fi!
Fun Fact: The first animated 3D feature, spending a whole 17 days in the cinemas.
