ABSTRACT
Remake of Rollerball (1975). Jonathan Cross, an adrenaline junkie consumed by a passion for extreme sports, agrees to join up with wealthy entrepreneur Alexi Petrovich's upstart sport: "rollerball", a game in which rollerblading players attempt to throw a metal ball into a goal on a lawless playing field featuring dangerous motorcyclists. Jonathan's career mirrors rollerball's fast-rising popularity, as it soon becomes the most-watched sport in a nation filled with bloodlust; soon enough, however, Jonathan finds himself fighting for his life as Alexi's desire for ever-higher ratings push him to place a target on the sport's biggest star.
