TAGLINES : "It's More Than Just a Game!" 

"In the 21st Century, wars aren't fought. They're played" 

"No Player has ever been greater than the Game itself...until now" 

"Any sport that changes its own rules...while adding new ones...is not just a sport" 

"In the year 2018, they will produce a war every week during prime-time and televise it to the rest of the world. They will call it...ROLLERBALL" 

Summary: In a corporate-controlled future, an ultra-violent sport known as Rollerball represents the world, and one of its powerful athletes is out to defy those who want him out of the game. In a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries, the violent game of Rollerball is used to control the populace by demonstrating the futility of individuality. However, one player, Jonathan E., rises to the top, fights for his personal freedom, and threatens the corporate control.

BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : This is one of the first films ever to include the stunt performers' names in the final credits. The game of Rollerball was so realistic that the cast, extras, and stunt performers played it between takes on the set. Many of the extras in the film received an additional wage in order to cut their fashionably long hair so the look of the film would not be tied to the era in which it was made. The Rollerball game sequences were filmed in the Olympic Basketball Arena in Munich, West Germany. Munich citizens were invited to the filming to serve as spectators to the games. Director Norman Jewison intended this film to be anti-violence, but audiences so loved the action of the game that there was actually talk about forming Rollerball leagues in the wake of this film, which horrified him. Norman Jewison said he cast James Caan as Jonathan E. in the film after seeing him play Brian Piccolo, the real-life Chicago Bears running back, in the TV film "Brian's Song" (1971).
