In the corporatist future of 2018, “rollerball” is a violent sport in the participants unleash their aggressiveness: but one of them (James Caan) refuses and rebels. One of America’s best-known sci-fi-dystopian films, a perfect balance between New Hollywood and genre movies, directed in a classic style by the director of In the Heat of the Night and Moonstruck. John McTiernan directed a very unfortunate remake in 2002.
