City Limits is a 1985 post-apocalyptic movie about two teenage gangs who unite against an evil corporation trying to take them over for their own use. It was written and directed by Aaron Lipstadt and is based on a story by James Reigle and Lipstadt.

It was featured on an episode of the cult television series Mystery Science Theater 3000, during which Crow T. Robot sang a song in tribute to actress Kim Cattrall, who appears in the movie. When Kim Cattrall saw the episode, she told her agent to send a bouquet of flowers to Crow.[citation needed]

Plot summary

A plague has wiped out the older generation. The young live in controlled anarchy and resist the imposition of a centralised government. Two biker gangs, the DAs and the Clippers, have divided up the city but unite against outside threats. The Sunya Corp. tries to take over the city, with the initial cooperation of the DAs.[1]

Critical reception

The Variety review was positive about the depiction of a tribal society, the action scenes and the "vibrant" score; the reviewer considered the Sunya Corp. plot less convincing.[1]
