The 1996 motion picture adaptation was a star vehicle for Pamela Anderson, which was intended to enable her to cross over from television to movie stardom. With a plot based loosely on Casablanca, the film had Anderson playing the title role, a mercenary and nightclub owner in a cyberpunk future entrusted with looking after a pair of contact lenses necessary for the exposure of a political scandal. The film was critically mauled on its release, but became a moderate hit because of its star.
The movie was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Picture, but lost to the Demi Moore film Striptease.
