Somewhen in the not too distant future: Master safecracker McCray is safe behind bars when Jules (Jennifer Sydney), operative of a mighty tech corporation, offers him freedom if he makes himself available for a heist to steal a prototype of something (her info's not quite clear on that) from another mighty tech corporation. Reluctantly McCray agrees, and even more reluctantly he has them implant a camera into his eye ...

The heist works out just fine, but then Jules, McCray and their team fail to be picked up, and thus are on their own, at the mercy of mercenaries of the corporation they've just robbed. One of their group, Decker (Teddy Canez) actually activates the prototype, and it turns Jules into a bloodthirsty fighting machine at the switch of a button, and also turns her back normal again. But Jules, Decker and Kyle (Aaron Moreland) soon run into a gang who makes them their prisoners, trying to get the most for them and the gadget they're carrying. McCray and Natalie (Faye Kingslee) have in the meantime lost the others and hooked up with McCray's best friend Clark (Willie Bingo), a master hacker ... who tells them the cameras in their eyes have been hacked, meaning the corporation they're working for have lost contact to them, but there's someone else who has obviously taken things into his hands since ...

After having freed themselves from the gang, Jules, Decker and Kyle, rejoined by McCray and Natalie, are looking for sanctuary - but the longer that goes, the more obvious it becomes that Decker is having his own ulterior motives, might be behind the hack, and is now using the others as pawns in his game. What's even more frightening, he's the only one who knows how to work the prototype which can turn them all against one another ...

 

There are probably people who will be frightened away by Robot Wars' found footage approach - but to be honest, it's woven into the story quite beautifully and serves as an actual trigger for things going wrong. And the film despite its approach doesn't make the mistake to have looong takes with little happening but changes perspective constantly (as you'd expect from a movie of its ilk) with tons of action going on. But despite all the action, Robot Wars can actually be seen as a thinking man's sci-fi flick, as it presents us with a dystopian future world that can be seen as social commentary, and it asks many relevant quesitons between all the chases, fights and shoot-outs ... and at the same time it's also a very tense and suspenseful thriller that really ought to be seen!
