In the crime-plagued future, the only thing standing between order and chaos is Judge Joseph Dredd (Sylvester Stallone). His duty: police the violent metropolitan sprawls that crowd the decaying earth, and kill criminals on the spot if necessary. The tables are turned, however, when maniacal ex-Judge Rico (Armand Assante) frames Dredd for murder. But, as his opponents soon discover, not even a prison sentence can stop Dredd from doling out his signature brand of justice.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Judge Dredd wants to be both a legitimate violent action flick and a parody of one, but director Danny Cannon fails to find the necessary balance to make it work.

...Don't listen to the doubters, with a great aerial chase scene, lots of cool guns and gadgets, and a 30's serial vibe, this Judge Dredd is above the law when it comes to mindless fun.... Go to Full Review

Accomplishes numerous visual feats, from the gruesome makeup effects for the denizens of the Cursed Earth to the flying car chases across the neon cityscapes. Go to Full Review

Lucky L @Lupus 11h This almost falls under so bad it's good... after a few drinks maybe. It's a wonderful piece of trashy 90's copaganda, but does have some interesting visuals, simple and dynamic story, and all the usual tropes: lone hero, villain with god complex, cops good - revolution bad, star gets the girl, and the comic relief character - all you need for mindless fun. When you think about it, Rico's final speech almost made sense, but they didn't want you think about it, everything is depicted black or white, no space for interpretation. I also really like how they depicted the obsolete robot, and in general, atmosphere in the movie is good. When we were kids we were exited to see this in the theaters and now I realize pretty much every Hollywood movie aimed at teenage boys was propaganda.

It is straight out of 2000A.D. complete with the Angel Family, and Stalone was a perfect fit. See more Wayne L. Oct 31 Awesome movie the best ever!!!!! See more Craig W. @CJWolfe27 Oct 8 This movie is entertaining, typical 90s action movie it’s ok worth a watch See more Benjamin Z. @BennyZ85 Sep 21 I think it’s a very good movie great cast in the whole movie between Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane and all the others. I never read the comic books but I’m a big Sylvester Stallone fan and it’s gritty. It’s got a great plot to overthrow mega city I would recommend this to anyone who likes those mid 90 action movies.
