Tank Girl is a 1995 action-comedy film based on the British comic series of the same name. The film stars Lori Petty as the titular character Tank Girl, a post-apocalyptic warrior who fights against a tyrannical corporation Water & Power. Alongside Petty, the movie features notable actors like Ice-T and Naomi Watts. The movie's plot takes place in a dystopian future where a large portion of the world's water supply has been controlled by the Water & Power (W&P) corporation. The company is run by the ruthless Kesslee (played by Malcolm McDowell), who wants to eliminate Tank Girl and her group of rebels who seek to overthrow him.

Tank Girl, known for her vibrant punk style and devil-may-care attitude, is kidnapped by Kesslee's henchmen along with her friend Sam (played by Stacy Linn Ramsower). After her abduction, Tank Girl is taken to Water & Power's headquarters, where she meets Jet Girl (played by Naomi Watts), a makeshift fighter pilot.

Together, they escape from W&P and start a mission to rescue Tank Girl's friend Sam from Kessle's custody. In the midst of this mission, Tank Girl discovers that she has a mysterious power that allows her to communicate with a manic and playful animated kangaroo. Meanwhile, Jet Girl confronts her fears and learns to fly like a pro.

Throughout the film, Tank Girl and Jet Girl encounter a range of eccentric characters, including a group of Rippers, genetically engineered half-human, half-kangaroo beings who help them take down W&P, and a sexually ambiguous club owner named Booga (played by Jeff Kober), who becomes Tank Girl's boyfriend.

The movie's high point comes in the final battle, where Tank Girl and her gang face off against Kesslee and his army of soldiers, enhanced by a deadly artificial intelligence named 'T-Saint'. The climax is full of explosive action, quirky humor, and some unexpected twists and turns.

Although Tank Girl was not a box office success, the movie has gained a loyal cult following since its release. It is often praised for its blend of comic book sensibilities, punk-rock style, and clever satire, which mocks the corporate greed and patriarchal power structures.

In conclusion, Tank Girl is a wild ride of a movie that mixes post-apocalyptic action, feminist themes, and off-the-wall humor. With Lori Petty's charismatic performance as Tank Girl, Naomi Watts' breakout role as Jet Girl, and Ice-T's cameo as an angry mutant kangaroo, the film offers a unique and entertaining experience that is not to be missed.

Tank Girl is a 1995 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 45 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.4 and a MetaScore of 46.
