Historia
In a post-apocalyptic world fifty years after nuclear war, America and Russia resolve territorial disputes through one-on-one battles between giant robots, piloted by 'jox'. The match for Alaska's possession sees Achilles, an American jockey known for his conscience-driven approach, facing off against Alexander, a Russian pilot. The contest's outcome will determine the fate of the disputed territory.
Resumen
