2018-at írunk. A világ már megszabadult minden erőszaktól, a népek békében, kiegyensúlyozottan élnek. A génjeinkbe kódolta erőszak utáni csillapíthatatlan vágyat egy új játék, a Rollerball csillapítja csak. A földkerekség legnépszerűbb sportját egy hatalmas fedett arénában vívják görkorcsolyán és motoron száguldó, veszélyes tüskékkel felvértezett modern gladiátorok. A kosárlabda és a hoki szabályait elegyítő játék gyors és brutális - éppen ezért szinte mindenki rajong érte. A játékokat - akárcsak a világot - néhány nagy multinacionális cég irányítja, akik egyre nagyobb félelemmel tekintenek egykori kedvencük, az évek óta verhetetlen Jonathan népszerűségi mutatójának töretlen emelkedésére. Tudják: a népszerűség hatalmat jelent, márpedig nem szeretnék, ha más is hatalomhoz jutna rajtuk kívül. Felkérik a játékost, hogy pályája csúcsán vonuljon vissza. Amikor Jonathan ezt megtagadja, a cégek megváltoztatják a Rollerball szabályait. A tét most már nem a győzelem, hanem az életben maradás...

2005-ben Jonathan Cross a legjobb amerikai rollerball játékos. A vállalat által kitalált és uralt gladiátor-játék a rögbi, a hoki és a motorverseny veszélyes keveréke. Közép-Ázsia ura, Alexis Petrovich irányításával és dollármilliók segítségével az egész világon kitör a rollerball-láz. Jonathanból hirtelen híres sztár lesz és szenvedélyes kapcsolat fűzi csapattársához, Aurorához. Hamar kiderül azonban, hogy a rollerball nem más, mint véres és kegyetlen pénzvadászat.

More than a dozen shots, some less than a second, of people wearing roller skates in various settings: a young man in skates sits on a low guardrail next to a city sidewalk reading, a woman with a child shoots by, a constable skates gingerly, a man skates by in suit and vest, another cleans front steps, children skate into a room where papa and siblings sit, someone slips at the base of stairs, a man in a cowboy hat moves fast, two jovial chubby women shake hands, our man in the hat trips over a wheelbarrow, then falls again as he rounds a corner, then down goes the constable. It's a crazy day on the city sidewalks.
