Set in a futuristic world where crime is omnipresent and justice is elusive, Sci-Fighters is a sci-fi thriller that follows a team of police detectives on a mission to stop a dangerous virus from spreading across the city. Starring Roddy Piper, Jayne Heitmeyer, Billy Drago, and Tyrone Benskin, the film delivers a mix of suspense, action, and drama, combined with stunning CGI and practical effects.

Roddy Piper plays John Tucker, a former police officer who has been forced to retire after a tragic accident left him physically and emotionally scarred. Despite his reluctance to go back to active duty, Tucker is called back to help his former partner, Max, (played by Tyrone Benskin) who has uncovered a diabolical plot that threatens to destroy the city.

The threat comes in the form of a deadly virus that can turn human beings into mindless killing machines. The virus has been let loose by a mad scientist named Anton Zeiss, played by Billy Drago, who plans to use it to control the world. Zeiss has an army of human-like synthetic robots, known as "dummies," at his disposal, which are immune to the virus and are programmed to do his bidding.

Tucker and Max team up with a beautiful doctor named Alex (Jayne Heitmeyer) to stop Zeiss and his evil plan before it's too late. Their mission takes them through the dark underbelly of the city, where they encounter all sorts of dangerous criminals, including drug lords, corrupt officials, and other nefarious characters.

As they fight their way through the city, the team faces a series of challenges and obstacles that test their skills and their courage. Tucker, still haunted by the accident that ended his career, must overcome his fears and confront his past to become the hero the city needs. Max has to deal with personal demons of his own, while Alex must balance her duty as a doctor with her growing attraction to Tucker.

Despite the odds stacked against them, the team refuses to give up and fights to the bitter end. Their battle with the virus and Zeiss leads to a climactic showdown that will determine the fate of the entire city.

Overall, Sci-Fighters is an entertaining and thrilling sci-fi adventure that delivers on all fronts. The cast delivers solid performances, and the special effects are impressive, given the film's low budget. The story is engaging and well-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep the audience engaged from start to finish. Fans of the sci-fi and action genres will find plenty to enjoy in this underrated gem from the mid-90s.
