Plot Summary
John McTiernan's "Rollerball" takes place in the not too distant future, and the future is fierce. A notorious renegade sport, "Rollerball" packs arenas all over the world. A global viewership bets and roots for star players Jonathan Cross (Chris Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J) and their beautiful teammate Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) who skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the danger of the game, the real threat lies in team owner Petrovich (Jean Reno) who sacrifices anything and anyone to maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final score. In a heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to expose the corruption and treachery. It is a risky play and the penalty is lethal.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The new version just makes you feel like you've been watching a lame late-night rerun while stuck in a thunderdome.
Rotten: Although Norman Jewison's stolidly grim and ultimately ludicrous 1975 original was hardly a landmark of nightmarish sci-fi, it towers over this.
Rotten: John McTiernan's botched remake may be subtler than Norman Jewison's 1975 ultraviolent futuristic corporate-sports saga. It's also stupider.
Rotten: It's almost enough to make Burton's Apes retread seem like a work of artistic ingenuity.
Customer Reviews
Soundtrack?
Is there no soundtrack? What's the name of the song at the end during the final credits? None of the titles listed in the music section of the credits made sense. Is it Rob Zombie?
Good summer flick
Never gonna stop is the song by Rob Z at the end credits. Good movie
Horrible
Top 5 of worst movies of all time. Would give it a -45 out of 10
