| Story: |
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast,
running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast,
violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only
force of order lies with the urban cops called 'Judges' who possess the
combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and
feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge,
challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug
epidemic that has users of 'Slo-Mo' experiencing reality at a fraction of
its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighbourhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture - a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control centre and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
