The story is set in the futuristic 'Mega-City' , a hugely expanded New York City where local law enforcement have the right to 'judge' in the field rather than let the perpetrator run free until a lazy jury finds them innocent. Judge Dredd (Sly Stallone) is the best and most feared of these judge until he is wrongly accused of murder. He is sent to prison for life, but manages to get free. He then faces the challenge to prove that he is innocent, with the help of Judge Hershey (Diane Lane), an extremely good Judge and Lawyer, Rob Schneider, a funny computer hacker who was convicted by Dredd and the support of Chief Justice Fargo (Max Von Sydow). He has to fight against one of the more evil criminal minds in his time, Rico (Armand Assante), and an army of cloned judges. The special effects are still pretty good even now although the helmets look a bit daft but otherwise the film hasn't dated badly at all and still looks impressive. A special mention goes to the huge war robot who was totally cool.
