Big hair, big guns, big personalities, and a serious lack of wardrobe. She-Wolves of the Wasteland, a post-apocalyptic story that features women--lots and lots of women--who leave little to the imagination as they battle each other in various junkyards and gravel pits to determine the fate of the entire world.

Quick Answer

What is Phoenix the Warrior about?

Phoenix the Warrior is a 1988 American action, fantasy, and science fiction film directed by Robert Hayes about warring tribes of women in a post-nuclear wasteland hunting for the last man on earth.

Programmer's Pick

This one is pure 80s post-apocalyptic cheese—think big guns, bigger hair, and a total wardrobe deficit. Between the mutant matriarchs and the holy 'Sesamy Street' gospel, it’s a wild ride through gravel pits with tongue firmly in cheek. If you want sword fights, machine guns, and a surplus of warrior women, this wasteland’s for you.

Overview

Phoenix the Warrior (also known as She-Wolves of the Wasteland) plants its flag in a post-nuclear future where the world is ruled by fierce women with big hair and even bigger weapons. With the population nearly all-female, the tribes are led by figures like the mutant Reverend Mother and the formidable Cobalt. Their mission: track down what may be the last surviving male, who is fleeing across the wasteland with the help of the resourceful Phoenix. Expect a heady mix of junkyard skirmishes, gladiatorial combat, and satirical nods—like a mutant cult worshipping the words of 'Sesamy Street.' This is a gleefully over-the-top mashup of dystopian sci-fi, action, and camp, delivered with an unapologetic wink to exploitation cinema.
