Rollerball (2002)

A remake of the hit 1975 film directed by Norman Jewison and starring James Caan, Rollerball is a fast-paced, slick action thriller that will get pulses racing. 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 (Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J) and their beautiful teammate Aurora (Stamos) who skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the danger of the fame, the real threat lies in team owner Petrovich (Reno) who sacrifices anything and anyone to maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final score. In an heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to expose the corruption and treachery. It's a risky play and the penalty is lethal.
