'''''[[Absolon''']]'' is a 2003 [[Sci Fi]]/Thriller film set in a [[Dystopia|Dystopian]]n [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|near]] future. In the year 2010, a [[The Plague|plague]] wipes out [[A Million Is a Statistic|five billion people]]. A treatment, Absolon, is eventually discovered, and the world government that arises from the ashes of [[The Plague]] distributes Absolon to what's left of Humanity.
 
Fast forward several years. [[Government Drug Enforcement|Mankind is still dependent on Absolon]], requiring daily injections to avoid catching [[The Plague]]. Detective Norman Scot (played by Christopher Lambert) is investigating the murder of Dr. Frederick Reyna, the scientist who created Absolon. In the course of his investigation, he meets World Justice Department Agent Walters (Lou Diamond Phillips), who is strangely interested in the case, as well as Dr. Claire Whittaker (Kelly Brook), the woman in charge of the group that was funding Dr. Reyna's research.
Line 38:
* [[Right Man in the Wrong Place]]: Scot is given the cure because he happens to be a universal donor.
* [[Scavenger World]]: According to the [[Opening Scroll]], the world is living off of pre-plague surplus, with Absolon being about the only thing actually produced.
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: [[Hologram|Holograms]]s exist alongside technology that was dated when the film was made. Justified considering the [[Scavenger World|state of the world]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Possibly not on purpose, but Scot's clothes look very much like the wardrobe of [[Highlander|Conner MacLeod]].
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Dr. Reyna's autopsy lists the year as 2017.
