About This Movie

California Crisis: Gun Salvo is a curious blend of adventure and sci-fi, wrapped in the vibrant animation style of the mid-'80s. The story follows Noera and Marcia, two laid-back Californians who stumble upon a government cover-up, which leads them on a wild chase through Death Valley. The pacing has that classic '80s animation vibe—there are moments of tension balanced with light-heartedness.

The characters, though not deeply developed, deliver enough charisma to carry the narrative. It’s definitely one of those films that captures an era’s spirit, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the quirks of vintage animation.
