After a comet disrupts the rain cycle of Earth, the planet has become a desolate, barren desert by the year 2033. With resources scarce, Kesslee, head of the powerful and evil Water & Power Corporation, the de facto government, has taken control of the water supply. Unwilling to cower under Kesslee's tyrannical rule, a pair of outlaws known as Tank Girl and Jet Girl rise up, joining the mysterious rebel Rippers to destroy the corrupt system.
In a dystopian future ravaged by drought and corporate greed, a punk-rock warrior known as Tank Girl rebels against the totalitarian Water and Power corporation. She teams up with a motley crew of outcasts, including her friend Jet Girl, to fight against the tyrannical ruler, Commander Supreme, and his oppressive regime. Their adventures involve high-octane chases, unconventional weaponry, and a quest to find a legendary water source.
Tank Girl received a mixed to negative reception from critics, with many finding its anarchic tone and visual style overwhelming and its plot underdeveloped. Audiences were similarly divided, with some appreciating its unique, cult-classic aesthetic and others put off by its eccentricities. Despite its critical shortcomings, it has since garnered a dedicated cult following.
Google audience: Audiences generally found Tank Girl to be a visually distinctive and energetic film with a fun, rebellious attitude. However, many felt the plot was weak and hard to follow, and that the film's quirkiness could be a bit much at times. Lori Petty's performance was often singled out as a strong point.
The distinctive look of the film's tanks was inspired by actual World War II era tanks, but heavily modified with scavenged parts to fit the post-apocalyptic aesthetic.
