IMDb 3.5 Metacritic 40 RT 28%

Skip it. Barb Wire is a '90s cult oddity that's mostly remembered for Pamela Anderson in a latex outfit rather than compelling storytelling—the plot is a derivative Casablanca knockoff wrapped in clunky sci-fi window dressing, and the action hasn't aged well enough to carry the weak script. Unless you're specifically hunting for campy '90s nostalgia, your night is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

A sexy nightclub owner, Barb Wire moonlights as a mercenary in Steel Harbor, one of the last free zones in the now fascist United States. When scientist Cora Devonshire wanders into Barb's establishment, she gets roped into a top-secret government plot involving biological weapons. Soon Barb is reunited with her old flame Axel Hood, who is now Cora's husband and a guerrilla fighter, resulting in plenty of tense action.
