>>More Plot Outline

This made-for video documentary treats classic science fiction fans to a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Rollerball, the 1975 film about the lone hero of a blood sport played in a future world ruled by corporations. Includes interviews with director Norman Jewison and writer William Harrison, along with other members of the cast and crew of the film who share their experiences from working on the project, as well as discuss the special efforts that went into bringing it to completion.

Special Trivia

Bette Davis and Mary Astor thought the original script was not very good. They ended up rewriting the script themselves. George Brent was a licensed pilot and did his own landings in the movie. Mary Astor says, "What a dump!" eight years before Bette Davis immortalized it in Beyond the Forest. Both scripts were written by Lenore Coffee.
