PLOT SUMMARY :
In a corporate-controlled future, an ultra-violent sport known as Rollerball represents the world, and one of its powerful athletes is out to defy those who want him out of the game. "In a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries, the violent game of Rollerball is used to control the populace by demonstrating the futility of individuality. However, one player, Jonathan E., rises to the top, fights for his personal freedom, and threatens the corporate control." VIEWER COMMENT : "The story of "Rollerball" is set in the year, 2018, and is ironically very similar to current real life events and problems facing our country, as the "individual" is diluted by globalist corporations. The movie imagines a world ruled by CEOs and companies, without heroic figures to inspire ordinary people. The 'will' to fight for freedom and a better world is stifled, as "no player is greater than the game..." James Caan's character, Jonathan, refuses to retire.  He is a hero, a singular "individual".  Jonathan's example of "choice" threatens the 'conformity' that this totalitarian system needs. An intelligent script, decades ahead of its time."
