Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes go at it amid a dazzling cyber-future in this explosive hit. In 2032 archcriminal Simon Phoenix (Snipes) awakens from a 35-year deep freeze in CryoPrison to find a serene non-violent Los Angeles ready for the taking. Unable to deal with Phoenix's brutal 1990s style officials seek an old-fashioned cop to fight old-fashioned crime. They revive Sgt. John Spartan (Stallone) unjustly serving a CryoPrison sentence because of his last encounter with Phoenix. Sandra Bullock Benjamin Bratt and Denis Leary also play rough and tough in this "terrific mix of action and humour".
