Plot

Set in 2022, several convicts sentenced to life in prison are led on a mission into uncharted deep space by Commander Skyler (Williams) to salvage a lost ship. Should they survive their mission, their sentence will be commuted. Astronaut Borman had killed the crew of the lost ship.

While on the way to the ship, the convicts are allowed into a virtual reality world where they could live out their sexual fantasies with any woman they choose.

However, Ariel (Scoggins), a woman who is not part of the virtual reality program appears in it, kills each virtual woman, and seduces each convict. When Ariel begins to appear outside the program, she manipulates the men, who quickly turn on each other.

Cast

Production

The virtual reality sequences are parodies of Casablanca, Westerns and Motorcycle films. "Broadway Joe" Murphy provided many of the stunts in the film.[1] The film was produced and distributed by PM Entertainment.
