This postapocalyptic adventure follows a group of imprisoned, skateball-playing youths (including Jason Patric, Lukas Haas and Jami Gertz) who find an orb with prophetic powers. When the orb is stolen, the kids make a daring escape to find it and win their freedom from a fascist regime. Tracked by the ruthless general Grock (Richard Jordan), the kids skate their way through wastelands in search of the orb and a way to overthrow the regime.
