Rollerball
In the not-too-distant future, wars will no longer exist. But there WILL be...The Game
Directed by Norman Jewison
Produced by United Artists, Algonquin
A dystopian sports thriller that uses a brutal, high-velocity game as a metaphor for corporate control and individual resistance in a dehumanized future.
In a corporate-controlled future, an ultra-violent sport known as Rollerball represents the world, and one of its powerful athletes is out to defy those who want him out of the game.
