The apocalypse has happened, and most of humankind has been eradicated
by a bio-tech virus, and the rest of them is gouverned by micro-chips. In
this world, Jake (Jake Ryan) only does what every good father would do:
Keep his daughter Molly (Billie Rutherford) safe. What he doesn't know of
course until it's almost too late: Molly's the last child alive and she
seems to be immune to the virus - which makes her invaluable for
gouvernment forces ... who are of course to blame for the apocalypse in
the first place. But before they can get their hands on Molly to probably
dissect her, she and Jake are saved by unlikely hero MadCap (Stephen
Hunter) of the Rebellion. From MadCap, Jake gradually learns what's
happening, but then his daughter's kidnapped and taken to the
"Tower", the hi-tech HQ of the gouvernment that's supposed to
send out an obedience update to everyone's implanted chip to stamp out the
Rebellion once and for all - so now Jake and MadCap are united in the
mission to have to enter the place - but once there, they're less than
likely to like what they find ...
Bily Zane plays Jake's former mentor turned chief baddie of the piece.
Blue World Order is a nice little genre flick that
might have been made on a low budget but works at least as well as its
bigger budget buddies as it's based on an intelligent and interesting
story, combines narrative complexity with to-the-point storytelling, and
has action and suspense, tension and explosions in all the right moments -
and it being carried by a very competent cast of course doesn't hurt one
bit either. Nice genre fun, to say the least.
