The future world is an irradiated waste land. Off an eastern coast, 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.
The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and director Pete
Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film. Filmed
in 3D with stunning slow motion photography sequences, the film returns
the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John
Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.
