Cherry 2000 (1987)

A well-off Sam Treadwell (David Andrews) hires a soft-voiced but ballsy tracker (Melanie Griffith) to escort him into an outlying restricted zone. It's a dangerous excursion into a post-apocalyptic lawless wasteland, but Sam does it for love - the love of his Cherry 2000, an android companion (sex doll).
One of the film's strengths is its shot-on-location nature, utilising the natural lightning of the environment, because when shooting sci-fi on a budget you need all the help you can get to make it believable. The story's soft-core undertones are played knowingly, which is another way of saying it's self-aware cheese, but it at least tries to be better than the sum of its parts.
