“The mining planet of Sirius 6B, in 2078: a handful of Alliance soldiers led by Col Hendricksson (Peter Weller) and including rookie hotshot Ace Jefferson (Andy Lauer) resolves to negotiate peace with their similarly depleted New Economic Block enemies. But the post-nuclear wasteland they must cross is guarded by self-replicating 'Screamers', anti-personnel devices with flying blades that slice and dice.” – Time Out
