Filmed in 1986, this Sci-Fi attempt suffers somewhat from a lack of...what do you call it?...oh yes, interest.
Plot: In the post-apocalyptic future, the Eco-Protectorate run the world, rationing the Earth's water supply, running orphanages and assaulting the few people that deem to live out with their control. One day, while playing a roller-hockey type game, the youngest member of the orphanage team stumbles upon a glowing blue ball that flys and seems interested in helping to restore the planets vitality. In an effort to bring this premonition to reality, the full team- including Jason Patric (The Lost Boys), James LeGros, Jami Gertz (also in The Lost Boys) and Lukas Haas, travel across the barren landscape on roller-skates and do battle with the maniacal leader of the EP, Richard Jordan (Raise the Titanic, Logan's Run), his chief scientist, Sarah Douglas (Superman I and II) and their torture loving robot.
Budget: $7,500,000
Gross: $1,579,260
This film did not score highly with folk, one reviewer even suggested the script had been re-worked in Crayola.
Fun Fact: There's a small role for Adrian Pasdar (Heroes), a cameo for British comedian Alexei Sayle and even an appearance by Critters star, Terrance Mann.
