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 (Chris Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J) and their beautiful teammate Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) who skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the danger of the game, the real threat lies in team owner Petrovich (Jean Reno) who sacrifices anything and anyone to maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final score. In a heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to expose the corruption and treachery. It is a risky play and the penalty is lethal.

In 2005, a new contest that mixes extreme sports with ancient gladiatorial combat is sweeping the world -- but "Rollerball" stars Chris Klein and LL Cool J come to realize that the dangerous game they're playing might be rigged. Co-starring Jean Reno and Rebecca Romijn as a hard-bitten fellow competitor, Rollerball (directed by John McTiernan) is a modern retake on the original 1975 sci-fi satire that starred James Caan.
