Demolition Man is a 1993 futuristic crime thriller from director Marco Brambillo. The film opens with Los Angeles Police Detective John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) facing off with crime lord Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes). Hostages die in the raid, and when Phoenix blames Spartan for the explosion that killed the captives, Spartan and Phoenix are both sentenced to Cyro-Prison. Fast forward to the year 2032, and we see a very different society emerging, with Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara merging together to form San Angeles, a dystopian society led by the enigmatic Dr. Raymond Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne). Under Cocteau's guidance, San Angeles has become a pacifist society, with crime effectively eradicated. Not everyone is happy with Cocteau's changes though, and Edgar Friendly (Dennis Leary) leads a growing resistance movement, the biggest threat to Cocteau's regime. When Spartan is accidentally freed from his cryogenic imprisonment, he sets out on a brutal crime spree the pacifist San Angeles police department is unable to control. To catch the old-school killer, they'll need Spartan. The twentieth century cop is partnered with Lenina Huxley (Sandra Bullock), a San Angeles police officer. Can the old-school cop teach Lenina enough to keep her safe from Phoenix?moreless
