Tank Girl (1995), directed by Rachel Talalay, 104 min, Originalfassung.

The movie takes place in a dystopian 2033 A.D. after an asteroid hit Earth, turning it into a wasteland and altering the atmosphere, making it so that there has been no rain for the last 11 years. Water is extremely scarce and what little is available is controlled by the monopolistic Water & Power (W&P), led by Kesslee ( Malcolm McDowell ). Water & Power are opposed by the almost mythical "Rippers," whose precise nature is unknown as the film opens.

Tank Girl, a.k.a. Rebecca ( Lori Petty ), is a member of a small outlaw group that has set up their own water well in the basement of a house. Learning of the well, W&P attacks, killing most of the people in the house and taking Rebecca and a young girl named Sam. Imprisoned, Rebecca is repeatedly brutalized by Kesslee, who wants to break her spirit. Between intellectual jousts with Kesslee, Rebecca befriends her next-door-cellmate ( Naomi Watts ), a mechanic who works on W&P's vehicles. ...
