Judge Dredd is framed by corrupt power-seekers and must fight for his life and for justice. Based on the futuristic, action-packed comic books by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Plot Summary It is the 22nd Century, and Mega City One (formerly known as New York City), replete with flying vehicles, armored lawmen and 65 million citizens, has become a violent and anarchic land. As a result, the law enforcement consists of men known as judges, and each one serves as cop, judge, and occasionally executioner, allowed to mete out "justice" as he sees fit. The most elite and feared of these is the emotionless, snarling Judge Dredd. But when Dredd's clever, vile, vengeful archenemy Rico escapes from prison, he successfully frames Dredd for murder. With the judge, who has received a life sentence, out of his way, Rico begins a killing spree with judges as his special targets. But when Dredd escapes from prison and sets out to stop the deranged psycho, will a startling, familial, revelation about Rico affect his progress?   Features English 5.1 Surround Dolby Digital French Dolby Digital Stereo Interactive Menus Theatrical Trailer English Subtitles   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Buena Vista Release Date: 9/3/2002 Running Time: 96 minutes Original Release Date: 1995 Catalog ID: 14899 UPC: 00717951000644 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English [CC], English, French Dubbed Video: Color Aspect Ratio 2.35:1   Cast & Crew Armand Assante Jurgen Prochnow Rob Schneider Sylvester Stallone Danny Cannon - Director Adrian Biddle - Director of Photography Alan Silvestri - Musical Score Charles Lippincott, et al. - Producer Michael De Luca, et al. - Story By John Wagner, et al. - Writer   Product Image

This movie has many qualities, some being the special effects which is a must in sci-fi flics these days, and a great cast to play the roles of the story. If you like action and some comedy mixed with it, you will like this show. You can't ask too much for plot development, considering this was a comic book. If I were you I would look this film to be an entertaining one rather than an inspiring one.
