This is a remake of the original Rollerball film from the 1970's, starring James Canne:
The year is 2005 ... Sport in Asia is struggling to survive, so the people running the show decide to turn to violence
to liven up the sport for the audiences. The American athletes, who were like Heroes to the Asian audiences, now want out
of the 'sport', but they soon find out that they aren't going to be allowed to slip away into the night, as they would like
to ...
Mmm, this somewhat reminds me of 'Running man'. I've never actually seen the original Rollerball, so I can't compare it
to this remake though.
