Judge Dredd is a British comic book character, which was adapted by the United States to this movie.

Judge Joseph Dredd (Stallone) is a street judge in a violent future world where after the earth is reduced to an inhospitable desert world people have been forced into Megacities rife with crime.

 Framed by Rico, his clone brother, Dredd is convicted of the murder of a major reporter; aided by a prisoner that he previously helped to convict, Dredd attempts to clear his name. Dredd is also assisted by Judge Fargo for some time.

The film contains several elements that are at odds with the comic series: the face of Judge Dredd is shown in deference to the film's expensive star; a love interest is allowed to develop between Dredd and Judge Hershey, something that is strictly forbidden between Judges in the comics, and the movie is largely missing the ironic humour of the original strip.
