In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the storm-troopers search for them and the orb.

Even for the ridiculousness of it, this is a pretty fun kids movie from the 80s. Great chemistry among the cast makes it more endearing than it has any right to be.

Nostalgia explosion! I love this. I used to watch it all the time in the late 80's. The cast is wonderful. The sets are magical. The effects are just cool enough to not be tacky. And, the story is great. Oh, and the costumes are wonderful. Lol! If you like 80's teen movies and you haven't seen this, watch it. It's a great twist on the teen squad type.

Well, I don't know what to say...honestly. I guess I can say that I loved it as a child, and it's getting the 10 of 10 based on remembering when I watched it through a child's eyes.

But there are certain tropes with this genre, and it hits the shortage of water trope, and the roller skate trope, More
