Gibson Rickenbacker (Jean-Claude van Damme) is hunting down bad guy Fender Tremolo (who came up with those names anyway, some guitar-fanatic?), who killed Gibsons family. On his way to revenge he runs into a cyborg holding the formula for a cure against the plague, that is severely downsizing mankind, in its cyber-brains. Fender tries to lay his hands on the cyborg in order to get the cure believing it would make him God. Yet since the cyborg is with van Damme, she gets safely to Atlanta, to the refuge of the last scientists eager to develop the cure. Fender stands no chance against his nemesis and in their last confrontation loses all his followers as well as his life. That´s about it.
Albert Pyun does not give a rats ass about a complex story with twists and surprises. And as fans of his work we don´t expect that kind of nonsense. We want action, violence and cyborgs in a post-apocalyptic world. That is what Albert Pyun is all about. And that is exactly what we get watching Cyborg. Plus a very young Jean-Claude starring in one of his early movies.
