Tek Addiction

In the future, "Tek" is the powerful electronic drug that junkie people use to trip. The police officer Jake Cardigan (Greg Evigan) awakes after four and something years of cryogenic detainment despite his sentence of fifteen-year punishment. Jake was accused of killing his fellow partners in a raid, but he has always claimed that he was innocent. When he arrives home, he learns that his beloved wife Kate (Sonja Smits) has divorced him and disappeared with their son Danny (Marc Marut). Soon his partner Sid Gomez (Eugene Clark) invites him to meet the powerful Walter H. Bascom (William Shatner), who owns the security corporation Cosmos, and he hires them to find the scientist Prof. Kittridge (Barry Morse), who has developed a crystal to destroy the Tek chips. Meanwhile, Insp. Winterguild (David Hemblen) and the android Lieutenant Winger are chasing Jake since they want him to go back to the ice.

"Tecwar" is an underrated sci-fi movie from 1994. The plot is well-written, showing the criminal life in 2045. I saw this film first time in the 90's but watching it again in 2023, it is interesting to see that many futuristic stuffs in the 90's is reality these days. Tek is not reality yet, but electronic cigarette (e-cigarettes / vapes) is. My vote is seven.
