这是一座死寂冰冷的未来都市，一座无爱无情的“死城”。一切都必须遵循一台名为“阿尔法60”超级计算机统治下的“逻辑”，若有违反者，都会被枪决。生活在这里的人们表情木讷，生活思维受到严格的控制，丧失了一切人性本该拥有的喜怒哀乐。
来自另外世界的密探雷米·柯雄（埃迪·康斯坦丁 Eddie Constantine饰）开始了对阿尔法城的探索，他的主要目的就是将这座城市的设计者万布翰博士（霍华德·沃侬 Howard Vernon饰）带回自己的世界。在探访的过程中，他结识了万布翰博士的女儿娜达莎（安娜·卡里娜 Anna Karina饰），两人相爱了。然而娜达莎仍然没有能够完全摆脱“阿尔伐60”的控制，约翰也被逮捕了，判为死刑。

A SLICE OF DEATH / ABBOT OF SHAOLIN (1979) is another Shaw Bros. kung fu film with a Shaolin Temple theme. David Chiang stars as the monk Chi San, who survives the burning of Shaolin Temple and travels south to Kwangtung to raise money to re-build the temple as forces loyal to the Ching Emperor follow in close pursuit. He meets a merchant in Kwangtung who becomes his patron and he develops a group of followers, including Hung Si Kwan, a familiar character from Shaolin lore. There are lots of good fight scenes and a well-written script with interesting encounters between the varied characters.
