JUDGE DREDD: DREDD RECKONING
In Pre-Production
After the Atomic War, the formation of the three Mega-City metropolises has created the need for a superior form of law enforcement: Judges. Empowered to immediately seize, judge, and execute any sentence, they are the only police force remaining within nine years of their initiation. By the year 2087, advances in cloning technology have made possible the introduction of a new generation of Judges, faster, smarter, meaner. One of the first is known as Judge Dredd . . .
Dredd is trained by the aging but ever-sharp Judge Callahan. The first day Dredd sees action, Callahan naturally accompanies him. Tragically, Dredd fails to save his mentor from falling to his doom as they dangle over the city and are riddled with bullets from a team of hovercrafts led by Max Voltek, head of a group of Mega-City assassins.
Eighteen years pass. Haunting the city's streets is the Phantom, a fearsome beast - half animal half mechanical. Dredd now is the most well-known--and feared--of the Judges, notorious for his merciless interpretation of the law. In another confrontation involving Max Voltek, one of Dredd's partners, the stunning Judge Hershey, is left comatose.
Meanwhile, the Senior Chief Judges of Mega-City debate the repressive nature of the existing law system. With a majority vote, Grand Chancellor Bullock vows to moderate the severity of the Judges' enforcement. Dredd tracks down the Phantom and accuses Bullock of being responsible for the Phantom's presence. Dredd in turn is arrested and stripped of his status as a Judge.
Faced with his demotion and the collusion of a high-ranking Chief Judge and the Phantom, Dredd must take matters into his own hands and even form an unlikely alliance with Max Voltek. Acting within the Law to which he is still faithful, will Dredd's determination for justice from outside the Justice Depermant be enough to nullify corruption of the vilest order from within?
