The year is 2025, a nuclear holocaust has left New York a wasteland. The televised battle royal show ENDGAME plagues the airwaves. Ron Shannon, 22-time ENDGAME champion, must assemble a team to lead a group of mind-reading mutants to salvation or face certain extinction.

With a bleak atmosphere and desolate set pieces, ENDGAME (1983) is an impressive low-budget adventure film. Like Lucio Fulci’s WARRIORS OF THE YEAR 2027 (1983), ENDGAME uses a lethal game show to levy poignant socioeconomic commentary atop an exploitation film. With veteran genre director Joe D’Amato at the helm and a cast of Italian cult royalty including Al Cliver, Laura Gemser and George Eastman, ENDGAME is a must-see for genre fans.
