The Gladiators
A dystopian sci-fi war drama that uses ritualized combat as a substitute for global conflict, exploring the dehumanization of soldiers and the moral cost of spectacle.
Some time in the future, East and West have stopped maintaining standing armies and nuclear weapons. Instead, to settle their differences they pit different teams of crack combat specialists against each other.
