It's the year 30,000 AD, the world has in the meantime suffered four nuclear holocausts and the second Ice Age, and with most of the world destroyed, for some reason the only place that has been left comparatively unscathed is Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is pretty much humankinds last retreat.

Grand Rapids is pretty much ruled/fought over by three, shall we say, houses: On one hand there's the emperor Grugar (Joseph Charles McIntosh), who likes to see himself as an iron-willed tyrant, then there's the Filmore Collection, which was originally a mere chain of restaurants but has since grown into an all powerful food company that doesn't even shy away from turning humans into minced meat and experimenting with artificial life. Finally there's DeVoZ Corps, a very powerful family enterprise the leader of which, Deacon (Matt Simpson Siegel), considers himself a god ... but at the same time suffers from a severe case of agoraphobia and lives in relative isolation.

Four stories from this world:

  • Sexy freedom fighter Ladynomous (Jacqueline Joy) has been captured in the wastelands after erradicating half of the emperors army. Now the emperor wants to see her suffer in the arena. Only Ladynomous turns the tables on him ...
  • Terence (Michael O'Hair) is a cop as crooked as they get - which is why Jackson (Joseph Scott Anthony), possibly the only cop even more crooked than him, thinks it's a good idea to hire him for a raid of the Filmore Collection - a job he has been paid for by General DeVoZ (Matt Simpson Siegel). Of course, Terence is not naive enough to for a moment believe that Jackson wouldn't turn on him once the job is done ... so he turns on Jackson first, with explosive results.
  • Stoners Ziploc (Nano Paulson) and Moady (Stephen Grey) learn of the hiding place of a legendary stash of space weed - but unfortunately, Ziploc's sister Ziplex (Ruthie Paulson Gómez) learns about the stash as well and not only beats them to it but also arranges for them to have a run-in with DeVoZ police ...
  • Deacon DeVoZ learns that Grand Rapids' atmosphere will run out in a mere 4 years. So he wants a sort of underground bunker build for himself and his closest loyals - but the only cave that would work as a location for the bunker is guarded by the underground spider queen (Marci Stembol), an extremely fierce fighters that kills all of DeVoZ's miners in no time. So DeVoZ has to hire the Krennons (Cassie Truskowski, Rachel Finan), two extremely fierce female fighters who fight for the good of mankind - but whose tribe has been erradicated by DeVoZ corporation when the two women were still children. Of course, the Krennons eventually manage to defeat and kill the underground spider queen - but was it a good idea to welcome one enemy into your realm just to defeat another one?

On paper, Future World: City of Mass Destruction might not sound like the most original film in the world - and on a plot level, quite honestly it isn't: It's more of a loving hommage to science fiction pulps and comics, and to post doomsday films especially from the 1980's, which is mirrored in not only the story but also many of the props and costumes, up to its very comicbook-like stylized look. And the look is what really sets this film apart: Made on an apparently low budget, Future World: City of Mass Destruction comes to life thanks to its very own style that mixes live action and animation, was quite apparently mostly shot in front of a green screen, and that couldn't only not pay less attention to what one might consider realism, it actually embraces its unreal appearance and heightens it with its very eccentric colour charts and the like.

And that, and the fact that the movie approaches its subject matter tongue-in-cheek without ever going moronic, make Future World: City of Mass Destruction a very worthwhile movie.
