Rollerball is a 1975 dystopian science fiction sports film directed and produced by Norman Jewison.[7] It stars James Caan, John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn and Ralph Richardson. The screenplay, written by William Harrison,[8] adapted his own short story "Roller Ball Murder", which had first appeared in the September 1973 issue of Esquire.[9]
Although Rollerball had a largely American cast, a Canadian director, and was released by the American company United Artists,[10] it was produced in London and Munich.[11][12]
Rollerball was a box office success, and critical review were initially mixed but have warmed somewhat over time.
