IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, WARS WlLL NO LONGER EXIST. BUT THERE WILL BE ROLLERBALL.
ln a corporate-controIIed future, the worId s nations have been disbanded and confIict is a thing of the past. But blood continues to be shed on the tracks of RolIerbaIl a brutal contact sport which pits players in a battle of life and death.
James Caan (The Godfather, Thief, Misery) plays Jonathan E., ceIebrated captain of the Houston RoIlerbaIl team whose prowess on the track has earned him renown across the globe. But this fame has aIso attracted the ire of the games corporate sponsors, who wish to suppress any dispIays of individual achievement fearing this couId 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 wilI 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 RoIlerball!
