A campy, gore-soaked post-apocalyptic action-comedy that blends 1980s nostalgia with surreal violence and earnest themes of friendship and justice.

Armed with little more than blind faith and an ancient turbocharged weapon, THE KID learns of justice and friendship and embarks on an incredible journey to rid the Wasteland of evil. This Short film was later made into the feature "Turbo Kid".
