Robot Jox (1990)

Plot: Fifty years after a nuclear holocaust, conflict in the form of open war is strictly forbidden by the surviving nations who have eventually merged into two socio-political opposing super-nations: the American-influenced Western Market, and the Russian Confederation. In order to resolve conflicts over land and resources, the Market and Confederation agree to hold gladiator-like matches on a one-on-one basis to decide any one issue. To this end, they develop human-controlled giant robots, piloted by "robot jox". As the film opens, the Confederation has demanded a claim on the territory of Alaska, and unwilling to allow the valuable resources of the area fall into their hands, the Market must defend its own claim. Also causing problems is an unknown Confederate spy in the Market, who has been leaking information about secret weapons and costing the Market their victories.
Achilles (Gary Graham) - considered the best Market robot jox ever - is the last surviving member of his squad, which has been eliminated one-by-one by the ruthless Confederation jox Alexander (Paul Koslo) during previous matches. Achilles is supported by the robot's designer ‘Doc’ Matsumoto (Danny Kamekona), and strategist Tex Conway (Michael Alldredge), who is the only jox to survive his ten-fight contract. Achilles and Alexander meet on the field and battle, which ends catastrophically when Achilles knocks Alexander's robot down, and Alexander launches his fist like a rocket. Achilles uses his own robot to stop it from impacting the bleachers on the field, but he topples over from the impact, coming down on the spectators and inadvertently causing hundreds of deaths. The referees declare the match a draw and order a rematch. However, Achilles insists that even though it was a draw, the fight was his contractual tenth match, so he chooses to retire. Achilles leaves the Market and returns to live with his brother's family, branded a coward by the public.
n Achilles' absence, Professor Laplace (Hilary Mason) coaches her genetically engineered "gen jox" to take his place, including the first-potential-female jox Athena (Anne-Marie Johnson). As the rematch approaches, Achilles finds out through the local news that Athena will be battling Alexander. Concerned that she may not have what it takes to win, he returns and agrees to fight and continues training, which further infuriates and insults Athena, who is now prideful of her new position.
