Summary
Barb Wire is a 1996 action film directed by David Hogan. Set in the dystopian future after a second American Civil War, it follows the titular character Barb Wire (Pamela Anderson), who moonlights as a bounty hunter while running her nightclub in Steel Harbor, one of the last free zones. When scientist Cora Devonshire arrives at her club, Barb gets entangled in a government conspiracy involving biological weapons. Her former lover Axel Hood reappears, seeking help to escape with his wife Cora, putting Barb in a position she's never been in before - choosing sides.
The film is unique for its blend of action, dystopian themes, and a strong female lead in the form of Barb Wire. However, it has gained notoriety more for its cult status and Pamela Anderson's performance than critical acclaim.
