Sieben Menschen stranden nach einem Flugzeugabsturz auf einer einsamen Insel: ein militanter Spießer, ein sanfter Biologe, eine feministische Anwältin, ein viriler Heißsporn, eine alte Dame, ein Millionär und sein schwuler Liebhaber. Als ihnen dämmert, dass sie die einzigen Überlebenden einer globalen Katastrophe sind, brechen Spannungen aus, die zu Chaos und Gewalt führen.

"Five men, two women, and a dog are the sole survivors of an airplane crash in the desert and may, in fact, be the only humans left alive after a global disaster. As conflicts immediately break out between the men over issues of sex and sexuality, the question arises: can the human race can survive, or will mankind destroy itself? The third film in an unconnected trilogy by Dutch feminist filmmaker Marleen Gorris, THE LAST SURVIVOR is a provocative and allegorical futuristic drama." AGFA American Genre Film Archive

"For the final film in the Marleen Gorris Trilogy, the Oscar-winning director shot the film outside of the Netherlands, traded Dutch for English, and molded the castaway genre to her own devices. She also shifted from a female to a male-dominated milieu, even as her concerns about the perils of patriarchy and benefits of sisterhood remained the same. ...
For most of these castaways, the ending won't be a happy one, which may be why Gorris's third film didn't find a wider audience – it wasn't even released theatrically in the United States – though the action never flags and the entire cast rises to the occasion. Though she proved herself a deft director of action, it isn't a form to which she would return." Video Librarian
