Storyline
In a future in which most water has disappeared from the Earth, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, who are living at an orphanage, run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question plays a hockey based game on roller skates and is quite good. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government. Finding an orb of special power, they find it has unusual effects on them. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the wasteland looking for a place they can live free as the stormtroopers search for them and the orb.

Rabbit: So what, are we gonna stay HERE?
Tug: Please, not in Tiretown. I'd rather go back to the desert.
Metron: And die of thirst?
Terra: There's GOTTA be another place to go.
Metron: Well, until YOU'RE ready to SHOW us...
Daniel: I think we should make our own place to live.
Metron: Make it out of WHAT, Daniel? Look, even with Bodhi, where would we start? And when would we finish?
Terra: Metron, if your future lies with the Protectorate, you should have stayed at the Orphanage!

Trivia
The movie was filmed on location in Spain, a country selected for its abundant desert landscape. Ironically, production was held up for several weeks due to--of all things--rain. See more »Goofs

My dad had a strange habit of taping all 48 hours of the free HBO
weekends when I was a kid. Fortunately for me, that's how I found
some of my favorite films! When I'd stay home from school with
the flu, I'd sift through the tapes and watch whatever caught my
eye. After I saw this one, it became my regular "sick day" film and
one I'd watch any time I was just hanging around on a rainy
afternoon. I remember I loved it because it was about kids doing
something about their problems and making the situation better -
heck, they saved the world! That's the kind of film every kid likes!
