# Rollerball (2002)

2002 · PG-13 · 98 min · Action, Science Fiction · Germany, United States


## Synopsis

Rollerball is a 2002 science fiction sports film directed by John McTiernan. A remake of the 1975 film of the same name, which itself based on William Harrison's short story Roller Ball Murder. The film stars Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn, and Naveen Andrews. While both versions of Rollerball use the same basic premise, the 2002 version has a much greater focus on action sequences, more muted social and political overtones than the original, and takes place in the mid-2000s rather than in a future dystopian 2010s.
