{{quote|I hated that plot. It was Dredd pressed through the Hollywood cliché mill, a dynastic power struggle that had little connection with the character we know from the comic.|John Wagner,[http://web.archive.org/web/20100201230126/http://www.2000adreview.co.uk/site/index.php/Interviews/John-Wagner-on-Dredd.html John Wagner on Dredd]}}
A 1995 film adaptation of [[Judge Dredd (comics)|the comic book of the same name]] starring [[Sylvester Stallone]] and Armand Assante. Has an 18% score on [[Rotten Tomatoes]].
Following a nuclear war in the late 21st Century, those who survived flocked to the Mega-Cities, large urban landscapes covering hundreds of square miles. The Mega-Cities become overcrowded, giving way to wide-scale, uncontrollable crime and violence. Law and Justice, as we know them, become something of the past. To combat the rampant criminal activity, a new kind of police force is created, one with the power to dispense both justice and punishment, acting as [[Judge, Jury, and Executioner]]. They are The Judges.
Line 18:
A second movie, simply called ''[[Dredd]]'' and starring [[Karl Urban]], was made in 2012.
