- Synopsis
- Johnathan Cross, a lover of extreme sports, is recruited by Alexi Petrovich to star in his sportive invention, Rollerball. Johnathan accepts and learns the ropes of Rollerball: The players are on Rollerblades, trying to bring a heavy metal ball into a high goal. Also, there are motorcyclists around to bring momentum to the players. Oh yes, and there are no rules in the game. During his skyrocketing career, Johnathan has to experience what Alexi has found out: Blood brings more viewing pleasure to the audience. So, Alexi starts to bribe members of the different teams to cause more trouble than necessary on the field, and the viewers love it. Only a little later, Johnathan's life is already in extreme danger as well as those of his friends and teammates. In a final game, Johnathan and his team have to fight for mere survival against their real opponent - their boss Alexi Petrovich.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Rollerball was trash even back in 1975, but in some small way it was ahead of its time. The new version just makes you feel like you've been watching a lame late-night rerun"
-
"Some movies should never have been made"
-
"Meretricious without being entertaining, it's an easy game -- and an easier film -- to sit out."
-
"The most depressing thing about this movie is not that it's such a complete waste of time, but that there are people in Hollywood who think this kind of thing is what American movie-goers are interested in seeing."
-
"This oddly scrambled new version eventually falls apart so badly you feel embarrassed for the people who made it."
-
"An incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense."
-
"Sheer chaos on wheels, a hysterically edited jumble that defies belief at nearly every juncture."
