One of cinema’s greatest action heroes, Tank Girl is a fiercely feminist freedom fighter taking on a corrupt system in Rachel Talalay's bonafide cult classic.
The year is 2033, and the people of Earth have been suffering through a drought for over a decade. The planet’s water supply is now controlled by megalomaniac businessman Kesslee (Malcolm McDowell), the owner of the Water & Power corporation. But in Australia there is resistance. If Kesslee wants to take control of the last water well in the Outback, he’ll need to contend with Rebecca Buck, alias Tank Girl (Lori Petty): a woman with a tank, a bad attitude, and a determination to rescue the world from the brink of oblivion.
Part of the Naughton Gallery’s SCREEN/PRINT series in collaboration with QFT and UsFolk. Attendees will receive a free Tank Girl poster by Irish illustrator Fiona McDonnell.
