A pulpy 90s sci-fi action film about a lone hero on rollerblades fighting a fascist gang in a dystopian LA, balancing earnest stakes with the inherent absurdity of its premise.

Griffin, a rollerblader in the not so distant future of an economically wrecked Los Angeles, races against time to save both his younger brother and the city from the fate dealt out by the fascist rollerblading street gang, the Rollerboys.
