Judge Dredd is a 1995 action film based on the Judge Dredd strip in the British comic 2000 AD. It was directed by Danny Cannon.
It's the Third Millennium and many things have changed.
Small cities and towns have been replaced by mega-cities sprawling over entire coastal regions.
The justice system as we know it today has become obsolete and replaced by the Judges. They are "judge, jury and executioner" in one neat package.
As one of the best, Judge Dredd is a favourite of the Head of the Council, Judge Fargo.
But when Dredd is convicted for a murder he didn't commit, he has to find a way to prove his innocence and get out of jail.
Tagline: One man is Judge, Jury, AND Executioner.
