PART OF A LINCOLN FILM SERIES: YESTERDAY'S TOMORROW, TODAY

CLICK HERE FOR MORE

Join us at the Lincoln Theatre for our film series Yesterday's Tomorrow, Today: Dystopian Visions of the Future 1973-1976.

In these four futuristic films about the decay of society, the anxieties of the 1970s are laid bare: overpopulation, pollution, authoritarian rule, encroaching technology, and endless war all raise their heads. Is it possible to break free and even flourish? Or are we doomed to be swallowed up as the last vestiges of individual humanity are drained away?

Wildly imaginative and gripping to this day, some of these films may seem implausible and even at times ridiculous -- but some may feel uncomfortably, alarmingly prescient. Yesterday's tomorrow may be today before you know it!

June 4: Rollerball

The year is 2018 in a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries. A violent futuristic game known as Rollerball is the recreational sport of the world, with teams representing various areas.

When one player, Jonathan (James Caan), refuses to give up his personal freedoms, his corporate overlords begin twisting the rules of the game to force him out. As Jonathan refuses to give an inch, he finds his breaking point fast approaching.

Directed by Norman Jewison

Starring James Caan, John Houseman, Maud Adams
