The future. America is an irradiated wasteland. Mega City One a vast, violent metropolis of over 400 million citizens living in perpetual fear. The only ones attempting to impose order are The Judges; Law enforcers, juries, judges and executioners rolled into one. The epitome of these is Dredd. Dredd and rookie Judge, the powerful psychic Cassandra Anderson, head out to a routine homicide in the notorious Peach Trees mega-block - a 200 story vertical slum run by the pitiless Ma-Ma gang. Our two judges are caught in a vicious and relentless fight for survival when Ma-Ma shuts down the building and orders her clan to hunt them down.
