In the year 2027, there's fierce competition between TV networks in Rome ... so fierce that one network creates a show where convicted murderers fight to the death on motorcycles. Looking to create a popular champion, the network frames a popular contestant from another show for murder and stick them on their show. Sounds a lot like "The Running Man", no? Well, Fulci beat that film to the punch by three years. Unfortunately, his film is terrible. The "Blade Runner" inspired futuristic city scapes are tiny looking little models, and essentially, nothing of any interest happens for over an hour, and then it wraps up with a quick action scene and we're outta here. Fred Williamson and Italian genre mainstays Al Cliver and Donald O'Brien co-star.
