The world is now run by Really Evil Corporations, who for evil reasons nuked the earth and enslaved all 2 billion remaining people. Every year, to keep the slaves from revolting, the Really Evil Corporations hold a Hunger Games, er, Andron tournament.
Ten slaves are chosen to compete in an Evil Maze for the ultimate prize - their freedom. Also, time travel exists, so the slaves are from different eras and the game itself happens in a different time period each year. But the other 2 billion slaves can still watch the Evil proceedings in real time because the players have nanocameras embedded in their eyes, and they have really good WiFi.
The maze is haunted by an evil ghost lady who can shoot lightning out of her fingertips, and evil ninjas with red pants and glowing LED eyes. Also, the maze drops random weapons for the contestants, because video games. Oh, and the contestants have selective amnesia.
The entire thing is orchestrated by Evil Alec Baldwin, whose presence in this movie tells us he spent all that Capital One money. Evil Alec sits behind a desk in a well-appointed palace and manipulates the game while yelling at his hot Secretary. But Evil Danny Glover, who also needs money, is Evil Alec's boss and the two have creative differences about how they should gruesomely kill people in this maze.
Maybe they're worried about ratings. But how can they be when the only audience is 2 billion slaves who don't get any other channels? They're the only game in town, like baseball in mid-July.
Anyway, this is hands-down one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. The plot is nonsensical. The dialogue veers from cringe to cringe. The movie even robs the characters of names, so we get conversations like this:
"Hey, where's that guy with the glasses?"
"I don't know, wasn't he with that other girl?"
"What other girl?"
There is one mind-blowing thing about Andron: That this script wasn't immediately tossed in the reject bin, nevermind given the greenlight. It's one of those movies that makes you marvel at how ANYONE could have thought it was a good idea.
Fair warning, this movie is not the kind of bad that's fun to watch because it's unintentionally hilarious. It's just bad. Proceed at your own risk.
