In 2157, humanity has developed the Great Theory of Education and gotten rid of wars,
hunger, and terrorism. Earth’s Nature has healed, medicine has advanced enough to save people from
any disease, and space traveling has become the norm. Max is traveling around the universe in his
own spaceship while avoiding the calls from his family because they want him to go back
to college. Suddenly an asteroid hits the ship and damages it severely, causing Max to plan an
emergency landing. Unfortunately the ship has become impossible to steer and crashes on the
nearest planet. Max manages to get out right before it explodes, meaning he’s now stuck
on this strange land. He starts exploring the area and discovers signs of a bonfire,
then notices a creature hiding nearby. Max tries to communicate with it, but the creature runs away
when suddenly a soldier named Zef finds them and points his gun at Max, saying something he can’t
understand. Max grabs from his belt a little translation device that he puts into his ear,
causing the soldier to shoot at the belt to make Max lose it before arresting him and taking him
to the nearest town. Max watches in shock how the town looks like a grim version of Earth, similar
to what he’s seen in history books. He’s sent to a lab where some scientists put a helmet on his head
to look into his thoughts as they interrogate him, however they still don’t believe he’s an alien and
it’s decided he’ll be transferred to a mental hospital in the capital with soldier Guy as his
escort. At that moment, every person in the area starts enthusiastically chanting the country’s
anthem, promising loyalty to the government. However Zef collapses as he has a seizure and
is taken away by the authorities. On the way to the city, Max notices the awful state of the town
and some huge towers every couple of miles. Guy explains that they are protection against enemies.
At that moment an explosion destroys the base of a tower and makes it fall on the road, causing the
debris to kill a few people while they try to run away and destroy most of the trucks. When a huge
metal road pierces Max’s truck, Guy gets caught under the rubble, but Max immediately rushes to
pull him out with outstanding strength before they could be reached by the incoming flames. Then Max
learns that rebels are trying to bring down the government, that’s why they need the towers. Now
they have no choice but to continue their trip on foot. As soon as they arrive in the capital,
the head of the Department of Special Research Strider hears about it and asks his employee
Funk to bring Max to his office. Meanwhile Max is being kept in a dangerous facility where they put
him inside a water tank to keep on looking into his mind. However the experiments are interrupted
by Funk, who uses Strider’s badge to take Max away against the scientists’ wishes. Meanwhile in the
government building, state prosecutor Umnik also asks his employee to keep an eye on any
news related to Max. Then Umnik notices the time and hides in his bathroom to have the seizure in
private. At the same time, Funk is taking Max away in his car and finds the road blocked, so he has
to find a new route. He's nervous because he's noticing the time, and at that moment, he starts
having a seizure. As the authorities come to pick him up, all the locals begin chanting in favor
of the government and call Max a “degenerate” for not chanting along. Taking advantage of the chaos,
Max immediately escapes. In the government building, it’s revealed that the country is ruled
by a dictatorship under the power of the Unknown Fathers, who include Strike and Umnik. When one
father makes a mistake, he’s immediately killed by the others, showing they’re ruthless even with
each other. After wandering around the city for a while, Max ends up in a bar and meets the waitress
Rada, quickly developing a crush on her. He also sees another customer get too handsy with her,
so Max immediately calls him out for it. Furious, the man tries attacking Max with his cane, but Max
moves fast and quickly disarms him, hurting his arm to scare him away. The rest of the afternoon,
Max and Rada chat a lot. Max teaches her about Earth and space, and Rada is revealed to be Guy’s
sister. She also invites Max to stay in her home. On their way out, the customer from before blocks
their way, eager for revenge. He’s even brought backup, but Max is still faster and immediately
dodges their sword attacks. Then the men fight him hand-to-hand, however their punches barely
tickle Max and he beats them up in seconds. Then the rest of the gang arrives with bigger weapons,
but no matter the number Max can fight them all at the same time. Suddenly a man catches his leg
with some rope and then they grab his neck with a whip, yet Max just uses these weapons to drag
the enemy around and finish knocking them out. In the end only the cane man is left and he throws
a small sphere with blades at Max, who dodges it easily. Later at Rada’s place, Guy also comes home
and is shocked to see Max, but he remembers how he saved him and allows him to stay. Days start
to pass and Max learns a lot about the local culture, like the fact they’re playing his
thoughts on TV as if it was a movie. The locals are also taught that they live inside the planet,
not on its surface, and there are no other planets or stars. History says that the Unknown Fathers
stopped the war against the rebels known as “degenerates” with the towers and saved the
country. Guy is very enthusiastic about wanting to defend his home and invites Max to become a
guard as well. Since Max has no ID or documents, Guy has to convince Commander Chachu to allow Max
to join. First he has to go through training, so Max learns the chant and joins mission trials,
during which he must run through areas on fire and shoot at signs representing degenerates. Max is an
excellent shot but his companion isn’t, so Max gives him a few tips to pass the test. However
later Guy scolds him privately, telling him to never do that again because their superiors demand
discipline. When they’re at home, Max exercises hard while Guy asks him questions about the rule
book to test his memory. Sometimes they also spar. In his free time, Max hangs out with Rada and they
eventually kiss. When Max is finally accepted into the army, he joins his first raid in rebel lands.
The soldiers storm into the buildings with the utmost brutality, using bombs and kicking people
along the way. Max is shocked to discover that the so-called rebels are just terrified normal
humans and immediately drops his gun. While the others arrest them, a rebel comes out of hiding
and opens fire on them, but he’s quickly knocked down and Chachu starts kicking him just for fun.
Afterward Max watches how dozens of normal humans are brutally arrested and pushed into trucks.
Chachu asks him why he dropped his weapon and Max explains the word “degenerate” had made him think
he would see wild beasts, not just poor citizens. Chachu begins insulting the rebels and calls them
trash but does admit they feel pain like everyone, however Max explains he doesn’t feel pain at all.
Later the fathers judge the rebels while flashing very hot and bright lights at them. Some prisoners
deny any rebel activity, while others insult the fathers as they point out all the people
they’ve killed. Depending on their attitude, some prisoners are sent to do daily work and others are
executed. A rebel shows them the mechanical arm he had to get after the guards cut his,
and the fathers punish him by putting him inside a suit filled with a gas that burns his skin.
Max has to watch it all while hiding his disgust. Later he tries to tell Guy how wrong all this is,
but Guy argues back and defends his government’s ways. With Max being so public, Funk finally finds
his location. Later in the evening, Guy and Max are called to Chachu’s office, so by the time
Funk gets to their place they’re already gone. After what happened earlier, Chachu wants Max to
prove his loyalty, so he takes him to the forest and asks him to shoot the two rebels with death
sentences. Max takes the rebels away pretending he will shoot them, however he lets them go
instead. Then he confronts Chachu, announcing he is quitting. Furious, Chachu opens fire on Max,
ignoring Guy’s pleas for mercy. Afterward Chachu drags Guy back to the capital, leaving Max’s dead
body in the forest. In the meantime, the fathers are discussing tactics to finally put an end to
the rebels’ attacks. However Umnik points out this would be a great moment to put together all their
guards into a huge army, implying he wants more war. The others like the idea of a full invasion,
but they’ll have to find a way to make the public accept the idea of war starting again,
perhaps by planning a fake assassination attempt. In the evening, the rebels in the forest find Max
and are shocked to see he’s still alive because his body recovers very fast. Max explains Earth’s
health technology and points out his people don’t know the meaning of “fatal wound”. He can only be
stopped by a shot directly to the head. In return, the rebels explain that the fathers are dictators
who took power by force and the towers aren’t for defense, they actually send out waves to brainwash
people. That’s why they always go through a patriotic frenzy at the same time twice a day.
Some people are immune to these waves and have seizures instead, but the government’s propaganda
has marked them as “degenerates” so they can hunt them down. At that moment the towers send their
waves, so the rebels put a stick in their mouths to avoid choking while they have a seizure. In
the city, Umnik does the same thing in private. Thanks to his Earthling body, Max doesn’t suffer
pain at all, so he helps the rebels go through it. Afterward, Max and the rebels cut down a fence
to cross into tower territory. As the rebels open fire on the soldiers and the alarm is raised, Max
runs through the facility without fearing incoming bullets and knocks down any soldier who dares to
get in his way with his bare hands. A few rebels are killed and others try to hide behind walls
to continue to shoot the enemy to the very end. Max manages to get under the tower and installs a
bunch of bombs before running out, tossing a rope through the hooks on each rebel’s clothes to drag
them out with him regardless if they’re alive or not. Thanks to Max’s strength, the group manages
to escape to the forest right before the tower is brought down by the explosion. Unfortunately
another rebel dies from his injuries, leaving Max and one man as the only survivors. Sometime later,
Max sneaks back into the city and reunites with Rada, unaware that a neighbor sees him and calls
the authorities. When Guy comes home, an argument ensues, and Guy tries to kick Max out. At that
moment the authorities arrive, so Max immediately runs out to keep the siblings out of danger and
starts beating up the soldiers waiting outside. He’s quick and efficient, but unfortunately Chachu
takes Rada hostage and Max has no choice but to surrender. Afterward Max is thrown in jail with
a bunch of prisoners, including Zef and the guy with the metal arm. Meanwhile Strike visits Umnik,
who makes him sit on a chair so narrow that makes guests uncomfortable on purpose as
subtle torture. Since Umnik is in charge of the reeducation program, Strike wants him
to release Max so he can study him, and they discuss a deal. However after Strike leaves,
Umnik sees Max’s profile and learns he doesn’t have seizures. Wanting that power for himself,
Umnik orders his employee to kidnap Max and make it look like he "mysteriously disappeared,
and also to send Strike a message saying Max unfortunately died in action. In the morning,
the prisoners are sent to the forest to clean, meaning they must pick up every weapon left by the
war. Max’s group suddenly sees a bunch of defense robots and immediately drops to the ground as the
robots open fire, shooting in circles with no signs of stopping. The prisoners wait for the
right moment to fire back, and one by one they bring down the robots until they’re all destroyed.
Then the group continues to search the area, and Zef teaches Max about the creature he saw when he
arrived. He says they’re dangerous mutated humans and should be killed on sight or they’ll be killed
first. After wandering for a while, Zef suddenly falls into a hidden hole, so Max jumps in to help
him. They discover a series of underground tunnels and start walking through them until they find an
old abandoned facility. After noticing a beast sneaking around in the shadows, they turn on
the power and find some old equipment. While they get distracted looking into some lenses that show
them the desert, the beast uses the chance to run out, and Max tells Zef not to shoot it. As
the duo is horrified to notice human bones on the ground, the beast damages the equipment to cut the
power before attacking. The beast manages to get Zef in a very strong hold, ready to bite him off,
however Max is strong enough to fight it with his bare hands. After lots of struggle, he knocks the
beast down, saving Zef just in time. Later while Zef is sleeping, Max takes off the ropes and lets
the beast run away. Zef scolds him for it, but Max explains these beings aren’t animals. The next
morning, Max and Zef reunite with metal-arm guy and continue to search the area. Among the trees
they find a small red tank stuck in a bunch of vines, and when they try to come closer, they’re
attacked by a black tank that moves freely. The group runs to hide behind the trees and tries to
open fire, but their shots don’t do anything to the tanks. Thankfully Max gets an idea:
he shoots at the red tank to make it react and when it tries to shoot back, it ends up bringing
down the black tank instead. Then Max sneaks under it and appears behind to climb inside,
cutting the wires to make it stop. After sharing a meal with the others, Max announces he’s escaping.
There are security measures at the borders to stop the prisoners from running away,
but Max gets inside the tank and drives it to the south as hidden mines explode around him without
causing any damage. When Umnik learns Max escaped, he throws a tantrum in his office. Eventually Max
finds a few soldiers guarding the road and is disgusted to see executed rebels nearby.
He tries to stay hidden inside the tank, but rules dictate every vehicle must be searched.
Max smiles when he sees the soldier jumping on the tank is Guy and immediately drags him inside
before pressing forward, destroying the gate and ignoring the other soldiers opening fire because
they can’t damage the tank. As they cross unknown lands, Guy is furious because they may be executed
for this and tries to escape, but Max keeps him in the tank and promises him a much better life.
