"I don't like brutality. I like heroics. I like the blood of heroes." - Mara

Why watch this? It's a hidden gem in the post-apocalyptic film genre.

Plot Summary: In a post-apocalyptic future, a group of travelers, called "Juggers", participate in a brutal sport loosely resembling lacrosse, but with a dog skull. Led by a disgraced former star, they journey across the desolate landscape, hoping to earn glory and redemption by competing in the professional league located in an underground city.

Dad's Preview: A brutal sport in a apocalyptic hell-scape... this exciting adventure was literally tailored for my demented tastes. "The Game", which is a barbaric version of "capture the flag". Teams, called jugs, compete - there are no rules and many are killed. When I first experienced this rare movie, I could not believe more people weren't talking about it. This underrated actioner is well-done with a noteworthy cast, including the amazing Rutger Hauer, and young Vincent D'Onofrio.
