In the far future, America has become an irradiated wasteland. In the ruins of what was once the United States lies Mega-City One, a vast, dystopian megapolis riddled with violence and bloodshed that stretches from Boston to Washington D.C—with the streets being plagued by criminals of all stripes. The only force of order remaining in the city is the Judges, a group of law enforcement officials belonging to the Justice Department who acts as Judge, Jury, and Executioner for any criminal unlucky enough to encounter one. The film revolves around Judge Joseph Dredd, a decorated veteran Judge, and Cassandra Anderson, a rookie Judge with a genetic mutation that gave her powerful psychic abilities. After Anderson is assigned to Dredd for her final evaluation, the two respond to a triple murder at a 200-story apartment slum named Peach Trees, where they unknowingly stumble upon the creators of the city's latest drug scourge. In response, prostitute-turned-drug lord Madeleine "Ma-Ma" Madrigal and her ruthless clan trap everyone inside, prepared to protect their empire at all costs. With no way out and the body count rising, the Judges are forced to fight their way up the tower to Ma-Ma, because there can only be one Law in Mega-City One. Just another day on the job for Judge Dredd.
