Hostile Environment

Toxic waste has contaminated the world’s fresh water supply. A select few with the ability to de-contaminate the supply now control the world. Minna rules the de-contaminators from a giant warship, forcing desperate land dwellers to trade anything and everything for meager water rations.

Directed by David A. Prior, Hostile Environment leans on a strong ensemble — Brigitte Nielsen, Matthias Hues, Darren Shahlavi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1999.
