In 1999 avant-garde filmmaker Lars von Biers discovered Steve Glenn working for a small video duplication company in Texas. Steve told von Biers of a movie called Radio Free Steve that he made in 1984, but never finished. Steve had shot the entire movie while on a road trip to Hollywood with the help of his best friend, Dirk, and his reluctant girlfriend, Trish. After watching just an hour of the raw footage, von Biers agreed to help Steve finish the film. Now, after 16 years, the world will finally see his seminal masterpiece. In post-nuclear-war America, mankind struggles to survive. Radioactive fallout blankets the earth. Flesh-eating mutants roam the highways. And the FCC wonšt let anyone on the radio. America's only hope is the last living radio pirate, Radio Free Steve. Steve cruises the Texas highways, broadcasting new wave music and a message of hope from his radio equipped van. With a twinkle in his eye and an itchy middle finger, Steve fights for freedom the only way he knows how: killing mutants and flipping off the FCC. Meanwhile a ruthless bounty hunter named Dirk (played by Stevešs best friend) tracks Steve from his souped-up Camaro Z-28. Steve decides he better move on before the FCC finds him. He rescues his slave-girl, Sheena (played by Stevešs then girlfriend) from a lame party and heads out into the Forbidden Zone--a harsh desert wasteland inhabited by anyone that Steve could convince to be in his movie: a flamboyant minimalist art curator, a new age guru, acid-eating punks, treacherous preppies, and deadly Buddhists.
