A new breed of...( read more read more... ) warrior trained in the arts of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat, roaming the vast desert wastelands in a postnuclear age...in a time when laws are useless and water is more precious than blood. When Nomad's old friend and mentor is brutally slain by the notorious swordsman Sho, Nomad heads for the desolate valley of Meridian to avenge his death. There he meets the beautiful Kasha, one of the many farmers being terrorized by the sinister warlord Damnil. The desperate farmers appoint Nomad their peacemaker, charged with protecting them against Damnil's diabolic plot to control all the water in the valley.

    Why does being a great warrior always involve doing hand stands? Both Yoda and Swayze are ga ga for them.

    Despite the entire concept of this film is a bit daft, the filmmaking itself isn't half bad.

    Patrick Swayze, desert, sword. That's about it. The coolest part was the sandmonsters which get slayed by The Swayze-meister in the beginning, but are never seen/ mentioned again..STORY! Eh, it's still better than Beyond Thunderdome.

    A very underrated science fiction B-movie starring Patrick Swayze. He plays a drifter fighting warriors in a post-apocyliptic future. A classic film from 1987.
