Turbo Kid is set in a post-apocalyptic future in which a teenager turned superhero called The Kid, teams up with a girl called Apple and a cowboy called Frederic. The trio traverse the Wastelands to take down the tyrannical leader Zeus.
It was written and directed by a Canadian film collective called RKSS, and after a positive debut at Sundance, went on to win the audience award at SXSW.
