''Cherry 2000'' is a 1987 science fiction cult film starring Melanie Griffith and David Andrews. == Plot == In the year 2017, the United States has suffered a series of civil insurrections and economic downturns, fragmenting into post-apocalyptic wastelands and limited civilized areas. One of the effects of the economic crisis is a decline in manufacturing, and heavy emphasis on recycling aging 20th Century mechanical equipment. At the same time, robotic technology has made tremendous developments, and female androids (or "gynoids") are used as substitutes for wives. Society has become increasingly bureaucratic and hypersexualized, with the declining human sexual encounters requiring contracts drawn up by lawyers prior to sexual activity. Business executive Sam Treadwell's (David Andrews) "Cherry 2000" android (Pamela Gidley) short circuits during sex. He is told by a repairman that she's irreparable and that finding a replacement will be difficult since she was a limited edition. To make matters tougher, the gynoid dealer says that Cherry 2000 parts were built in a defunct factory in "Zone 7", a particularly dangerous, lawless area. After removing Cherry's small optical memory disk, Treadwell hires Edith "E" Johnson (Melanie Griffith), a tough tracker, to guide him into Zone 7. Standing in their way is Lester (Tim Thomerson), a wasteland overlord with deranged subordinates. Edith and Sam enter an underground reservoir occupied by Six-Finger Jake (Ben Johnson), an elderly tracker who raised and taught Edith. Lester's men attack as Edith and Sam head out with Jake for the factory. Sam is hit on the head during the fight and wakes up in a 1950s-styled motel/village run by Lester. Sam is greeted by his ex, Elaine, who has changed her name to Ginger and is Lester's woman now; she informs him that everyone was killed in the fight except him. Lester takes an instant liking to Sam and decides to induct him into the group. Sam goes along until he witnesses the sadistic murder of a tracker that Lester's men had found. He decides to escape, but bumps into one of Lester's men. When the latter goes down, Sam sees that he has a knife in his back thrown by Edith, who has come to rescue him. Jake stays behind to create some distractions, but he gives Edith the Cherry memory disk, though he had led Sam to believe the chip had been lost. Edith, realizing Sam is a veteran of the earlier wars, begins to see him in a new light and have feelings for him. After Sam crashes their car, he realizes the attraction that has developed between them, and they start to make out on the car's hood, but before anything happens, Edith accidentally reveals she has the memory chip. Then, after fighting off Lester's goons, they continue on to the factory. Edith goes to a brothel/gas station owned by Snappy, a friend of Jake's, to fix up and borrow a light plane that he has. Snappy betrays them to Lester. Jake is killed, but Edith and Sam escape in the plane. Sam suggests that they turn around, but Edith is determined to find the Cherry 2000 model so that her surrogate father's death will not be meaningless. As Edith brings the plane down for a landing, it is revealed that Zone 7 is actually the ruins of Las Vegas, now a ghost town, and the gynoid "factory" is actually a casino called "Pharaoh's Casino". Sam finds a Cherry 2000. When he inserts the memory chip, Cherry "wakes up". Lester's gang finds them, but Edith and Sam manage to kill many of their attackers. Escaping to the plane, they find that their combined weight prevents takeoff. Edith jumps out, despite Sam rejecting the idea. Sam turns the plane around to help the now-trapped Edith. Sam sends Cherry to get him a Pepsi, then has Edith get aboard. Lester is killed trying to stop them from escaping. Edith and Sam then kiss as they fly away. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherry 2000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
