Plot
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, motorcross and hockey. Jonathan (James Caan) is the champion player - a man too talented for his own good. The Corporation has taken away the woman Jonathan loves (Maud Adams) but they can't take away his soul - even if the diabolical corporate head (John Houseman) tells him he'd better retire... or suffer the old-fashioned way. With its surrealistic imagery and tense action sequences, director Norman Jewison's Rollerball grips you by the heart - and never lets go!
