Fortress / Future Sport / Rollerball

FORTRESS: CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT, the sensational star of Highlander and Gunmen, is John Brennick, a man about to experience the ultimate in criminal punishment - the FORTRESS. The setting is the United States in the future. With resources scarce and the population soaring, couples are allowed just one child. Former Black Beret Captain John Brennick and his wife Karen have broken the law. After the loss of their first child, Karen is pregnant again. Caught and tried for their crime, they are sent to the Fortress, the most sophisticated maximum security prison on the planet, a jail built 30 storeys underground and equipped with technology beyond imagination. Each prisoner is implanted with an "intesinator", a device designed to inflict severe pain or death for any violation of the prison rules. Unrelenting and unforgiving, the Fortress is a hell-hole prison of the future. Escape-proof. Built to hold anything... except an innocent man. FUTURE SPORT: Wesley Snipes and Dean Cain star in this turbo charged sci-fi thrill ride where the only game is war...

On the brink of war, superstar athlete Tre Ramsey (Cain) must fight with all his powers to save himself, his team and the fate of his country. The question of territory is set to be solved by holding a game of futuresport – a violent combination of basketball and skateboarding which requires the utmost skill and agility – hold on to the ball for more than five seconds and electricity shoots through your body. Obike Fixx (Snipes), the creator of the game, is coaching the HLO team – who seem willing to play by "street rules", thus increasing the danger level in this high-stakes game!

Tiden är 2005 och följer ett team inom den våldsamma sporten Rollerball, ett spel där deltagarna spelar med livet som insats. Jonathan Cross (Klein) är det nyaste stjärnskottet i den mest extrema sporten någonsin! Med sina snabba skär och sitt tuffa utseende blir han ögonblickligen en superstjärna. Men Cross liv i omkörningsfilen krockar med verkligheten när han får reda på att organisationens ägare (Reno) iscensätter "olyckor" på banan. Nu måste Cross sätta stopp för denna vansinniga sport… innan den stoppar honom.
