Warriors of the Year 2072

1984 · 94 min

A cheap, lurid slab of futuristic gladiator mayhem that plays like a sleazy TV movie, more goofy than gripping.

Tagline
Champions of Death
Overview
In the future, two television networks compete for ratings by producing violent game shows. One network produces a modern day version of the Roman gladiators, only on motorcycles instead of chariots, and uses convicted murderers as the participants, The network decides it needs a champion for this sport, so they frame a constant winner from another game for murder, and place him on the show.
