Nach Kriegen, Umweltzerstörung und Überbevölkerung scheint man es im 23. Jahrhundert endlich geschafft zu haben: Die Menschen leben in einer Wohlstandsgesellschaft und führen ein sorgenfreies Leben in Städten unter der Erde. Einen Wermutstropfen gibt es natürlich auch hier - kein Bewohner darf älter als 30 Jahre alt werden. Einer will sich jedoch dem System entziehen und plant die Flucht. (TNT Film)

The subject is promising, but the execution sadly lags behind. It is a naive sci-fi with sets and characters that seem to have escaped from 1950s movies. This film has simply become outdated, whereas during the same time period, action movies were being made that can still be watched with a clear conscience today. I have a feeling that, in terms of the current reviews on FilmBooster, this film is highly overrated. Overall impression: 40%.

The world created in the film is just intriguing. The rules are clearly set, but the purpose is to break them because not everything truly has to be as it is. It's precisely York's character that reveals this, showing that every society has its flaws and it's worth making a change. The peaceful way, of course.
