Article · Nederlands
Rollerball is een Amerikaanse dystopische sciencefictionfilm uit 1975 onder regie van Norman Jewison met in de hoofdrollen James Caan en Maud Adams. Het verhaal is gebaseerd op het korte verhaal Roller Ball Murder van William Harrison, dat verscheen in het tijdschrift van september 1973. Harrison bewerkte het korte verhaal zelf tot een filmscenario. De film kreeg gemengde kritieken en was in de VS minder succesvol dan in de rest van de wereld. Rollerball won een BAFTA Award voor beste artdirection en Saturn Awards voor beste sciencefictionfilm, beste camerawerk (Douglas Slocombe) en beste acteur (James Caan). Het was de eerste keer dat in een grote Hollywoodfilm een speciale vermelding werd gemaakt van de namen van stuntmensen die meewerkten aan de film.
