Plot, as such, the population of the world is reduced to dust or turned to zombie-ish creatures (depending on the extent of your exposure to the comet rays or something) and the only people to be ok are thems that were encased in steel (like a room or truck cabin). So, two sisters go looking around a desolate L.A. and come across a bloke, Robert Beltram (Star Trek Voyager) and both fancy him, because it's the eighties and judging by earlier reviewed film, Chopping Mall, chicks in the eighties are rather loose. Anyway, some government think tank comes to find survivors to test out a serum and stuff.
The best part is actually the narration at the start, which reeks of 1950's nostalgia and is wonderful to boot. If only the rest had gone the same route. There isn't much redeeming about this story, but it's a laugh and shows that Sci-Fi can be accomplished on a shoe string and still look fun, if not all that good.
Budget: $700,00-3,000,000 (disputed between director and studio)
Gross: $14,418,922
Fun Fact: Director Thom Eberhardt wrote the screenplay for Honey, I blew up the kid...urg!
