Plot

In the not-so-distant future, a new world order has emerged from the ashes of the Corporate Wars. The world as we know it is now dominated by corporations, each with their own professional Rollerball team. This ultra-violent and occasionally deadly sport, despite its brutal rules, has become a spectator spectacle treated with a religious fervor, a perfect mirror to the narcissistic culture of the time. In the heart of this ruthless world is Jonathan E., the superstar player for the Houston team, controlled by the formidable Energy Corporation. After a decade of unmatched success, Jonathan has become a living legend in the sport. However, his fame takes a sinister turn when Bartholomew, the corporate Chair, requests a televised profile of him, with an ulterior motive to announce Jonathan's unexpected retirement. Although Jonathan has been loyal to the corporation, even to the extent of sacrificing his first love, Ella, to an executive's desire, he quietly rebels against this forced exit. As the Houston team barrels towards the championship match in New York, Jonathan, with the aid of his personal trainer Cletus and other allies, embarks on a perilous journey. He seeks not only to uncover the reason behind the corporation's eagerness to see him leave but also to understand the implications this could have on his life, or possibly his death. In a society where individuality is considered futile, Jonathan's rise and fight against corporate control disrupts the status quo. This futuristic society, where corporations have replaced countries, and the violent game of Rollerball is a tool of control, is about to witness a revolution ignited by a lone player's quest for personal freedom. The question remains: Can he survive this dangerous game?
