NEW & Sealed Future Sport (DVD, 2003) - Wesley Snipes, Dean Cain

In 2025 global tension is growing between a hawaiian liberation group and a North American alliance. 
On the brink of war, star athlete Tre Ramsay must compete in 'FutureSport' against the hawaiian team to settle the conflict. 
A sci-fi action film with a similar theme to Rollerball.
Shades of Rollerball
Director Ernest Dickerson and executive producer Wesley Snipes ponder the sport of the future & come up with... "Futuresport", a combination of handball, ice hockey, & skateboard hot-dogging begun as an inner-city alternative to gang warfare & transformed into a glitzy media sensation. Dean Cain stars as the reigning Futuresport hero, a cocky glory hound who counts his cash & "popularity index" ratings with a smug grin until his narcissism costs him the championship game. As a ruthless terrorist group pushes the world to the brink of war, the suddenly altruistic Cain hatches a plan to bring Futuresport back to its roots. With the help of reporter (& former flame) Vanessa Williams & the game's creator (a rastah-inflected Snipes, who gives himself the film's best role), Cain proposes a winner-take-all game to settle the territorial dispute. Beefy former TV "Superman" Cain makes a better reformed hero than a snotty superstar & looks great in the game scenes, but Snipes steals the film with his funky turn as the inner-city guru with more on his mind than the game.
