Rollerball

1975 · TMDB 6.3

Directed by Norman Jewison

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.

Why it matters

In a corporate-ruled dystopia, team athletes compete in a high-speed, lethal contact sport designed specifically to demonstrate the futility of individual effort.
