INTRO
BRIEF
Omega Doom (1996) takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where humans have been wiped out, leaving only warring factions of robots to battle for supremacy. Omega Doom (Rutger Hauer), a cyborg reprogrammed from his original mission to kill, finds himself in the middle of a conflict between rival android gangs—the Droids and the Roms—over a rumored stockpile of weapons that could shift the balance of power. With no humans left to protect, Omega Doom must navigate a wasteland of treachery, betrayal, and robotic violence.
