CYBORG 2 (1993)
MORGAN'S RATING
It's bio-tech corporate warfare in the year 2074, when cyborgs (robots in human form) have replaced humans at all levels. A malicious American cyborg manufacturing company plots to take over their chief competitor by liquidating their entire chain of command. The corporation's scheme is lethal: inject one of their own cyborgs, beautiful Cash Reese, with a powerful new liquid explosive that detonates her and everyone in sight. But the wise and benevolent tech-master Mercy tips Cash off to her fate and she runs to escape with the help of human hero Colton Hicks. Together, in the dark corners of the city, they face psychotic and ruthless hunters, as they search for a way out and back to humanity.
