Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Eve is a robot, modelled on "her" creator. Eve's armoury includes a nuclear bomb, which for unexplained reasons is on-board during Eve's testing. When things go wrong during the tests, Eve is lost in the big city. Enter the rescue team, which includes the real (human) Eve. They must find and disarm her before she goes "bang". Eve is programmed to protect herself at all costs, so when she runs into a problem, she resorts to her super strength; hence the destruction. Written by Rob Hartill |
| Plot Keywords | |
| Taglines | Its creator made it in her own image. The military made it deadly. Now only one man can stop her. See more » |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The tie in the pivotal opening scene was donated by Jim Belushi, who was originally considered for the role of McQuade, but was forced to drop out due to conflicts with the shooting schedule for Taking Care of Business (1990). See more » |
| Goofs | The steering wheel airbag that deploys in the BMW remains completely inflated after deployment, interfering with the driver's ability to steer. Air bags begin to deflate through built-in openings within 1/10th of a second or less after deployment, as they are designed to cushion an impact by decelerating a head and torso. See more » |
