In the grim dystopian future of the year 2000, the American government has conspired with evil developers to evacuate the Bronx, promising its inhabitants--whose ethnic make-up, for unexplained reasons, seems to be almost entirely Italian--homes in New Mexico. But, despite the presence of signs inviting, "Get out of the Bronx: We got solar houses in enchanting New Mexico waiting for you," a few dedicated Bronx dwellers have no intention of leaving, bringing them into conflict with henchmen clad in foil jumpsuits and armed with machine guns. In need of organized resistance, some go underground donning leather gear, pimp outfits, and in some cases reflective silver-and-gold bowlers. For leadership, they look to Toblerone (Antonio Sabato), who, instead of relying solely on his inspiring name, strikes an alliance with attractively coifed Bronx warrior Trash (Mark Gregory). After an intrepid, scarf-clad reporter sympathetic to the Bronxonian cause suggests kidnapping corporate president Ennio Girolami, Gregory attempts to recruit soldier of fortune Strike (Giancarlo Prete), an expert in explosives and terror aided by a Dondi-esque tot. Perhaps due to their shared love of headbands, Prete agrees, but, once in possession of Girolami, they find themselves pitted against evil enforcer Henry Silva, whose ruthless tactics include the use of armored cars, trucks filled with poison gas, and other vehicles readily available to the makers of Italian exploitation films. After much fighting, Gregory and company emerge victorious, helping ensure a future for New York's most lovable borough dominated by headbands and fake leather jackets rather than office buildings and luxury hotels.
