Neon City (also known as Anno 2053 in Italy, Neonski Grad in Serbia) is a 1991 Canadian post-apocalyptic science fiction film directed by Monte Markham[2] and written by Jeff Begun and Ann Lewis Hamilton, under the pseudonym Buck Finch.
The cast includes Michael Ironside, Vanity, Lyle Alzado, Valerie Wildman, Nick Klar, Juliet Landau, Richard Sanders and Markham.
Harry Stark, an ex-cop who now works as a bounty hunter in the wastelands, saves a woman from mutant outlaws.
Captain Raymond, Stark's former commanding officer, tells him that the woman, Reno, must be brought to Neon City to collect his payment.
Along the way, they pass through a deadly Xander Cloud, and, when they stop afterward, they meet a family who is suffering from extensive radiation damage.
Reno and Stark bond as he consoles her, and she reveals that she killed her foster parents accidentally when fleeing from their child prostitution ring.
Xander explains that he was attempting to solve the world's problems, and, if he reached a proper laboratory, he might be able to reverse the effects.
Television writer Ann Lewis Hamilton wrote the script for Neon City as an update to John Ford's Stagecoach, set in a post-apocalyptic world inspired by Mad Max.
[7][8] TV Guide rated it 2/4 stars and wrote, "Neon City is far from the worst Road Warrior rerun ever, although that's truly faint praise.
