Arena

Following on from films such as Robot Jox, Arena is a Sci-Fi of a similar ilk. Think Kick Boxer meets a film version of that CGI chess game in Star Wars.

Plot: The year is 4038 and the galaxy/universe derives its entertainment from a inter-species game of ultimate boxing. Creatures and human-like folk from all over gather to come to fisticuffs on stage and grab some cash. It's been quite some time since a human won and as such, competitor Steve Armstrong is looked on not only as the rank outsider, but also as a bit of a joke...so, in true sporting underdog fashion, what's a fella to do?!

Sadly, I've failed to find the budget for this 'masterpiece' of Sci-Fi, so I'll leave it to you to workout.

Fun Fact: Writer Danny Bilson also wrote The Rocketeer and the TV series, The Flash.
