The year is 2020, the Third World War has ended just eight years beforehand catapulting to power the despots that now rule the world. In the modern age their depravity sinks to the supreme depths of human nature with the recreation of the Roman arena with a bizarre modern day twist.
Condemned
criminals, mainly politicals who opposed them in times past
fight each other in a specially constructed Colosseum while
they watch through bullet proof glass. Here their depravity
allows them to restage old style Western shoot outs,
Zulu and Redcoat skirmishes, and spectacular Civil War
charges - but for real. Nothing is sacred anymore to entertain
the crowds. To the losers, the penalty is death.
To the winners however, victory is merely a respite until the
next event.
Then one day...???
