| "By 2017 the world economy has collapsed. Food, natural resources, and oil are in short supply. A police state, divided into paramilitary zones, rules with an iron hand. Television is controlled by the state and a sadistic game show called "The Running Man" has become the most popular program in history. All art, music, and communications are censored. No dissent is tolerated yet a small resistance movement has managed to survive underground.
When high-tech gladiators are not enough to suppress the people's yearning for freedom....... more direct methods become necessary." |
