Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, known in Japan as ドラゴンボールZ　オラの悟飯を返せッ!! (DoragonbōruZetto Ora no Gohan o Kaese!!, "Dragon Ball Z: Return my Gohan!!") and originally titled simply Dragon Ball Z during its theatrical release, is the first movie in the Dragon Ball Z franchise. (It was preceded by three Dragon Ball movies.) It was originally released in Japan on July 15, 1989, between episodes 11 and 12. It was translated in the US by FUNimation; FUNimation and Bridge Entertainment's title is The Pursuit of Garlic. In its television airings in North America, it was retitled Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone Vortex. In the US it was first released on VHS and DVD in 1997 with the original Ocean Group voice actors, and re-released on DVD in 2006, with the FUNimation voice actors, as part of a movie box set titled "First Strike", also containing movies 2 and 3. The movie will also be released, along with The World's Strongest, on Blu-Ray and DVD on May 27, 2008.

Plot

The movie begins with Piccolo randomly blowing up some mountains and being attacked and supposedly killed by a group of shadowed fighters. The movie then cuts to Chi-Chi along with her father, Ox King, and Gohan being attacked by an unknown group of fighters. Goku is out fishing during the attack and after sensing danger, he returns only to find his son has been kidnapped. The group responsible for the attack are Garlic Jr.'s henchmen, and it is later revealed that they were not so much holding Gohan ransom for any reason, but because they were after the four-star Dragon Ball that was attached to his hat. After retrieving the remaining Dragon Balls, Garlic Jr. summons Shenron and he immediately wishes for immortality. Shenron never having to grant this type of demand before, grants Garlic Jr. his wish. A furious Goku arrives to try and take back his son, but soon discovers Garlic Jr.'s new power. Kami meets up with Goku, and describes a brief history of Garlic Jr. and his father Garlic. Goku then proceeds to try to find Gohan when he is attacked by the villain's gang.

After brief fighting, Krillin and Piccolo appear and together they defeat Garlic Jr.'s henchmen Ginger, Dicky, and Sansho. And with Garlic Jr.'s newly obtained immortality and a new muscular second form, it seems not even Earth's warriors can take him down. Confident Garlic Jr. unleashes his ultimate attack, and bursting with anger, he opens up a portal known as the "Dead Zone" (hence the name of the film). Intending to suck his enemies into the void, Garlic Jr. becomes frustrated with Goku's ability to avoid the Dead Zone, and he decides to handle Goku himself, and later force him into the Dead Zone. Things looking extremely difficult for Earth's hero, Goku's son, Gohan, becomes enraged witnessing his father and friends in danger and releases his latent energy, blasting Garlic Jr. into his own vorsex to be trapped for an eternity. Remarkably, in the end of it all, Gohan doesn't remember a thing of what happened, and with amazement, Goku figures his son is no ordinary boy, but one with a great hidden potential.
