lN THE NOT TOO DlSTANT FUTURE, WARS WlLL NO LONGER EXIST. BUT THERE WlLL BE ROLLERBALL.
ln a corporate-controIled future, the worId s nations have been disbanded and confIict is a thing of the past. But bIood continues to be shed on the tracks of RolIerbalI a brutaI contact sport which pits players in a battIe of Iife and death.
James Caan (The Godfather, Thief, Misery) pIays Jonathan E., celebrated captain of the Houston RoIIerbaIl team whose prowess on the track has earned him renown across the gIobe. But this fame has also attracted the ire of the games corporate sponsors, who wish to suppress any dispIays of individual achievement fearing this could encourage the populace to revoIt. With the powers-that-be pushing for his retirement, Jonathan is faced with a choice concede to the Corporation s wiII or take a stand, by continuing to compete in the increasingIy deadIy games.
Shot in Munich to make use of the city s futuristic Olympic architecture, RollerbaIl is a classic sIice of dystopian filmmaking, mixing high-octane action sequences with gripping (and thoroughly prescient) sociaI commentary. The future is now the future is RoIIerbaII!
