This is Earth. Before the war it was a
planet filled with innovation and opportunity. Humanity achieved unimaginable results in the
realm of robotics and artificial intelligence. However, this power led to a global war.
From the ashes of this war, a new sickness was born - the red fever.
Nations fell and tribal warlords used the androids against each other.
Ash is one of the last androids to survive. She wanted life while the
humans wanted death. She cannot be part of that. We then see a group biking through the wastelands.
They head towards a factory and are spotted by an old man who raises the alarm.
The people run to hide and protect the children but the old man is surrounded by the bikers.
The War Lord approaches and the old man holds a gun to his head.
The War Lord nonchalantly states that he hasn’t seen a gun work since the war. He
suddenly stabs the old man dead. Later, the bikers make their way to
a lab where they find what they are looking for. They approach an android named Ash and wake her.
The War Lord is holding a device through which he is able to give her commands.
Elsewhere, in a place named the Oasis, the Prince greets his friend Rico.
Rico takes him to see his mother - the Queen. He pours her some tea, and tells her that he
has heard stories of a place called Paradise beach, where a cure exists for her condition.
She doesn’t believe that a cure exists but assures him that he will be a great leader.
Afterwards, the Prince goes to see an old man, and showing him an old postcard of Paradise
Beach, asks, if he knows this place. The man tells him that he shouldn’t go
there - it's not a good place. It’s called the Temple of Life
but it's not what it says. The Prince tells him that
he is going regardless - the old man shrugs and says that he can’t stop him.
Meanwhile, the War Lord introduces Ash to his tribe as his new bride.
He instructs her to kill one of the gang for being disrespectful, to which she duly obliges.
At the Oasis, the Queen has taken a turn for the worse and the Prince swears to fix this.
He returns to the old man and demands the truth about the cure.
The old man tells him that he will find it on the shores of the dead ocean - it can cure any
ailment and you can almost live forever - but he warns, that it is not what he thinks it is.
The old man gives him directions before preparing to ride away. Before he leaves,
he provides the Prince with two guns and ten bullets.
As the Prince leaves he is joined by Rico and another friend. During the journey,
the Prince is aware of the smell of burning flesh on the landscape.
Eventually they arrive at a settlement called Love Town, run by the pimp Big Daddy Love Lord.
The War Lord is also there with Ash. She asks him if the dancers are robots
like her, but he tells her no - they’re real and will get old, ugly and die.
The travelers go inside to get information. The Prince is overawed by the pretty girls.
As they order drinks, Rico asks about Paradise Beach. The waitress says that
she will ask Big Daddy Love Lord. Big Daddy Love Lord is with the War
Lord when the waitress tells him about the Prince. Big Daddy Love Lord treats his waitresses poorly,
and has them all fitted with punishment chokers, to assure that they stay in line.
Downstairs, two men start to bother the travelers and so Rico gets out his gun.
The man doesn’t believe it’s loaded so Rico pulls the trigger. They try to leave
but are approached by Big Daddy Love Lord. They ask him about Paradise Beach and he asks,
what the information is worth to them. Rico hands him some currency, and Big Daddy
Love Lord tells them, that they are partners now, and takes him to see a woman that knows.
Big Daddy takes them out the back, but tells them that the Prince needs to speak to the woman alone.
Rico is reticent but the Prince insists. Rico leaves him with a gun
Ash emerges and flirts with the Prince before holding him down, and shooting his two friends.
The Prince is then taken to the War Lord, who tortures him,
in order to find the location of the Oasis. However, Ash is clearly disturbed by these
events, and during the ride south, she realizes that the War Lord will
do terrible things to the people at the Oasis. She decides to make things right and she rescues
the Prince. Despite sustaining damage during the rescue attempt, she is able to resist the War
Lord's demands that he makes using the device. The War Lord’s gang searches for them,
but they manage to escape, and find a shelter. Due to the damage sustained, Ash powers down.
The following morning, the Prince constructs a stretcher,
and drags her through the blazing sunshine across the wasteland until he finally reaches the ocean.
He lays her body down but then is quickly captured by another group,
that lives in the ruins of a seaside resort. The Prince is knocked out and when he wakes
he is confronted by the Drug Lord. He asks after Ash. The Drug Lord
tells him the rules - he asks a question, then she asks a question.
He asks if this place is Paradise Beach and shows the postcard. She confirms
that it is - but this is no paradise. The Drug Lord asks what he is after,
and he tells her that he is looking for a cure for his mum for the Red Fever.
She confirms that she has the cure but it’s hard to come by.
She takes him to a room and tells him that first, he has to become one of them.
She holds a syringe and injects a substance into his arm. The Prince starts to hallucinate.
Meanwhile, Ash is placed in a chair and inspected by an engineer named Lei.
She starts to repair the android and Ash reactivates. Ash thanks her for her help,
and asks if Lei is a prisoner. The answer seems complicated.
The Prince is now outside, getting high. Once he passes out, dreaming about his mother,
the Drug Lord goes to see Ash. She is struck with awe over the
android and thanks her for being there. Finally the Prince comes around and the
Drug Lord informs him, that he has to fight one of her gang for the cure.
If he manages to kill him, he gets the cure. The Prince battles his opponent and manages
to defeat him. The Drug Lord is impressed and tells him that what he wants is in that man’s
stomach. The Prince cuts him open, reaches inside his stomach and retrieves the cure.
The Prince looks at Ash and tells her that they are leaving,
but the Drug Lord refuses to let Ash go. He says that he won’t leave without her,
but Ash tells him to leave as time is running out. Reluctantly, the Prince leaves, and starts to make
the journey back to the Oasis alone. That night, Lei goes to see Ash
and starts to cut through her chains. It doesn’t work, and Ash tells her that,
it is what it is and as such, is resigned to her fate as a prisoner.
Lei lights a cigarette and then leans in to kiss Ash.
She then feels guilty for taking advantage of the android,
but Ash tells her that she likes the feeling, and they start to enjoy each other's company.
The following morning, they are still together when they are discovered by
the Drug Lord. She is furious as Ash was intended for her.
She feels that Lei has corrupted her, and she demands that Lei wipe Ash’s hard drive,
so that she remembers nothing. When Ash wakes she will see the Drug Lord and love her.
The Prince has decided to return to Paradise Beach, and arrives just
before the War Lord and his gang arrives. They start to attack, and the gang easily
manages to overpower the Drug Lord’s gang. The Drug Lord injects herself with
two syringes and enters the fight. She faces off against the War Lord
and they battle ferociously. Ultimately, the War Lord shoots the Drug Lord through the head.
Meanwhile, the Prince has been trying to release Ash and Lei but to no avail.
The War Lord regains control of Ash, and the other two are taken prisoner. He takes them
outside and instructs Ash to execute them. Ash walks forward as the Prince begs her
not to. Ash regains control of her actions and fights off the gang while the other two escape.
Ash jumps on the back of a motorbike with the Prince, as the rest of the gang gives chase.
Eventually Ash commands the Prince to stop, and she goes back to confront the War Lord.
They fight in the sand and ultimately she manages to stab him through the back.
Ash, with the Prince and Lei, then drives off leaving the gang
standing over the body of their fallen leader. Ash says that the War Lord is dead but another
will replace him. This world has no memory. The group finally returns to the Oasis and
the people are delighted to see that the Prince is back.
Ash decides not to enter with him - she tells him that she has something to do,
and leaves on the motorbike. The Prince goes inside to see
his mother and tells her that he has the medicine. She reaches up and strokes his face.
After some time, the Queen is up and well. They embrace on the river bank.
Meanwhile Ash and Lei are together - continuing to search for other androids - to show them that
beyond all intellect and knowledge, exists something greater, something more powerful
than any person, any weapon - it’s hope. Some time later, Ash returns to Love Town.
Big Daddy Love Lord is throwing around orders and Ash kicks him to the ground.
She deactivates the punishment chokers and declares all his servants as being free.
They all take turns to kick him and gain their revenge.
