Aboveground all is a barren stretch, populated by marauding scavengers picking through the wreckage of World War III. A savvy survivor, Vic (Don Johnson), and his dog Blood forage for food, garb, and the occasional female. Against the advice of his sardonic mutt-a telepathic canine with a Mensa I.Q.-Vic decides to go “down under” to a subsurface colony fashioned after 1930s Kansas. This middle-American idyll of gingham and dungarees welcomes Vic with open (or, more accurately, amorous) arms. Though trimmed and well provisioned, “Topeka” is not the pastoral community it seems, but rather a rustic reactionary regime. Adapted from Harlan Ellison's novella, A Boy and His Dog dutifully re-creates his vision of a civilization wasting away on nostalgia. The sterility of this bucolic society has seeped from spirit to loin, leaving the populace incapable of sowing its own seed. But Vic, a fecund free agent, finds that this ain't Kansas anymore.
