Defined in the glossary: Post-nuke
The Italian Road Warrior with sand instead of the Bronx, muscle car included.
Giuliano Carnimeo drops The Road Warrior into the Almeria dust and swaps the Bronx for the desert, sending a lone scavenger and his souped-up muscle car across the wasteland to keep a settlement's kids alive long enough to find water. A chrome-plated road gang hunts them, the dubbing is dreadful, and every single element is lifted from a better film and bolted back together at speed. This is the desert-road wing of the Italian apocalypse cycle, cars and all.
Everything here is stolen. All of it runs.
