Robot Jox


Part man.  Part metal.  The ultimate killing machine.  Written by Iowa Writers' Workshop's Joe Haldeman.

 

"There is a lot of good to be said about a film that relies mainly on practical effects and stop-motion animation, models and more models, and table-top sets with just a smattering of bad blue screen." - Mark Tolch, RockShockPop.com


"Robot Jox is a lot of fun and features some good stop motion photography in the robot battles." - Christopher M. Jimenez, SinfulCelluloid.com

 

"Its sneaky intelligence and sense of barely controlled chaos keeps the film feeling unpredictable." - Matt Wedge, Horror 101 with Dr. AC

 

In a future world where war has been outlawed, international disputes are settled in a single winner-takes-all fight between two of the ultimate killing machines.  Massive, menacing and made-to-destroy, theses human-piloted combat 'bots square off to determine global supremacy.  But when tragedy strikes during a crucial battle and treacherous espionage raises the stakes, will veteran robowarrior Achilles walk away from the game for good... or take his revenge against his rival pilot, the homicidal Alexander?

 

Starring Gary Graham (Alien Nation), Paul Koslo (Voyage of the Damned) and Anne-Marie Johnson (In the Heat of the Night), this riveting (riveted?) sci-fi actioner will crush your burning desire for giant robot-on-robot action!

 

Written by Joe Haldeman (The Forever War), Iowa Writers' Workshop alum and founder of ICON (Iowa's longest running science fiction convention)
