action

After a nuclear disaster, the earth will be desolate and empty in 2019. The gang "Templers" under their merciless ruler One and his advisor Shadow plunder the remaining resources and kill the remaining survivors. But Scorpion opposes them. He frees Alma from her clutches and escapes his captors with the help of the nadir armed with a high-tech bow. He takes the woman to the nearby peaceful desert village under the direction of Father Moses, a Christian community that hides from the Templars.

Scorpion continues on his way, but falls into the clutches of the Templars. Just as One tries to torture and rape him, his spies find the village and the Templers hurry to raid the village. They leave Scorpion behind, who is to be killed afterwards. But Nadir frees him. Together with a young mechanic, Nadir and Scorpion face the Templars. In a decisive battle, they free the villagers and kill the Templers.
