Robowar is a 1988 sci-fi action film about a group of military commandos being stalked by a robot called Omega-1 deep in the jungle.
Directed by Bruno Mattei (as Vincent Dawn) from a screenplay by Rossella Drudi based on a story co-written with Claudio Fragasso (who also has a role).
Plot [contains spoilers]:Major Marphy Black leads a group of commandos through the jungles of an unnamed island, but unknown to all involved but Mascher, they are being stalked by Mascher’s robot invention, Omega-1.
Over Mascher’s protests, the group first saves a volunteer hospital worker, Virgin, from a band of guerrillas, then take out the hospital camp, killing all the guerrillas there, also. At this point, the robot begins killing members of the commando group, one by one.
That night, Mascher admits to Marphy that he created Omega-1, that it was acting sporadically, and that he was there to check out the match-up between the decorated Marphy and Omega-1.
The next day, they continue, and are further stalked by the robot. At one point, as Mascher reviews a computer to check Omega-1’s location, one of the commandos tosses it into the river, declaring that Macscher is now in the same danger they are.
Later, Mascher reveals the radio device which can destroy Omega-1, but the robot kills Mascher and others, leaving only Black and Virgin, and takes the radio destruct device. That night, Black listens to an audiotape given by Mascher, which reveals that Omega-1 is a human/machine hybrid, whose human parts were made up of the brain of Black’s old friend, Lt. Martin Woodrie.
Omega-1 attacks in the house they’re hiding, but Virgin stuns the robot with acid, and Black blows up the house. Black and Virgin reach the shore, and try to signal the boat, but Omega-1 catches up, and chases Black into the jungle. Cornering him, the robot removes the visor of his mask, hands Black the destruct radio, and instructs him to key the destruct sequence. Black does so, and returns to the shore.
