Rollerball - OriginalIcon_movClass_M

1975, 115 minutes, Rated M

The year is 2018. There are no wars. There is no crime. There is only...the Game. In a world where ruthless corporations reign supreme, this vicious and barbaric "sport" is the only outlet for the pent-up anger and frustrations of the masses.

Tuned to their televisions the people watch "Rollerball" a brutal mutation of football, motocross and hockey. Jonathan E. (James Caan, Misery) is the champion player - a man too talented for his own good. The Corporation has taken away the woman Jonathan loves (Maud Adams, Octopussy) but they can't take away his soul - even if the diabolical corporate head (John Houseman, The Paper Chase) tells him he'd better retire...or suffer the old-fashioned way. With its surrealistic imagery and tense action sequences Rollerball grips you by the heart - and never lets go!
