Description

[Machine Translation] In the year 2018 AD, a sport on behalf of war, it was called <Rollerball>! The sport becomes a battlefield of killing and freedom, enveloping mankind in excitement! The 4.5 billion yen futuristic masterpiece, which took three years to complete, is now available on Blu-ray for the first time in Japan in its newly mastered 4K restored version. The director Norman Jewison of "The Cincinnati Kid", "The Great Adventure of the Night" and "The Great Gamble" spent a staggering 4.5 billion yen to complete this futuristic epic, which was called "the greatest science fiction film ever made" at the time of its production, with over 40 people killed or injured during filming and a three-year production period. In the year 2018, in a seemingly peaceful utopian world without pollution, hunger, or conflict, but in fact a super-controlled society where everything is controlled by computers, the only sport that human beings can be passionate about, the murderous sport of rollerball, is depicted with breathtaking speed and thrills. Starring James Caan of "The Godfather," "The Killer Elite," and "The Cracker/Midnight Outlaw. He gives a brilliant performance as the lone roller-ball star, who is treated as an obstacle by the computer administrators because he tries to be a man in battle, find the meaning of life, and be human. The film was remade in 2002 by "Die Hard" director John McTiernan. In 2002, the film was remade by "Die Hard" director John McTiernan, but was criticized for the lack of social message present in the original and ended in disaster. --The year is 2018. The world is ruled by six major corporations. A super-controlled society where war and even crime do not exist, where all actions are calculated and decided by computers. The only thing that allows humanity to exude human emotion is a sport called "rollerball," an extreme sport in which two teams of 10 players compete to score points by shooting a steel ball shot from a cannon into a circular track and then shooting it into a magnetic goal. Jonathan was a superhero in the world of rollerball, but the administration, fearing his popularity and influence, sent a series of strong assassins to his games in an attempt to eliminate him.

ローラーボール / 洋画

西暦2018年、戦争代行のスポーツ、それは<ローラーボール>と呼ばれた! 人類を興奮に包み込み、そのスポーツは殺し合い自由の戦場と化す! 製作費45億円、3年の歳月をかけた戦慄と衝撃の未来巨編。4Kレストアのニューマスターで国内初Blu-ray化。撮影中の死傷者40人超、製作期間3年、『シンシナティ・キッド』『夜の大捜査線』『華麗なる賭け』のノーマン・ジュイソン監督が45億円という途方もない巨費をかけて完成させた、製作当時<史上最大のSF>と云われた未来巨編。西暦2018年、公害も飢えも争いごともない、平和なユートピア世界にみえて、実はすべてはコンピューターによって支配された超管理社会において、人間という生物が唯一熱狂できる殺人スポーツ<ローラーボール>を圧巻のスピードとスリルで描く。主演は『ゴッドファーザー』『キラー・エリート』『ザ・クラッカー/真夜中のアウトロー』のジェームズ・カーン。戦いのなかに男を賭け、生きる意味を見出し、人間的であろうとするためにコンピューター社会の管理者から邪魔者扱いされていくローラーボールの孤高のスターを見事に演じ切っている。のちにウィリアム・フリードキン監督作『恐怖の報酬』を手掛けるプロダクション・デザイナーのジョン・ボックスが本作で英国アカデミー賞受賞、サターン賞では作品賞、最優秀主演男優賞、最優秀撮影賞を受賞。2002年には『ダイ・ハード』のジョン・マクティアナン監督によりリメイクされるもオリジナルに存在した社会的メッセージの欠如を酷評され、惨劇に終わった。 ――西暦2018年。国家はなくなり、世界は6つの大企業によって支配された。戦争や犯罪すらも存在しないコンピューターによってすべての行動が計算のもと決められている超管理社会。人類が唯一、人間的感情をはきだすことができるのが"ローラーボール"と呼ばれるスポーツだった。10人のプレイヤーで構成される2つのチームが円形トラックに向けて大砲から放たれた鋼鉄製の鉄球を奪い合い、マグネット・ゴールにシュートして得点を競う過激スポーツ。ジョナサンはローラーボールという競技界におけるスーパー・ヒーローであったが、その人気と影響力を恐れた管理社会側はジョナサンを抹殺しようと、次々と屈強な刺客を彼の試合に送り込むのだった。
