"The IMAGE you FILM, the sounds you record, the programs you broadcast, cross
every barrier of TIME and SPACE...
What people see and hear in your transmissions and commentaries heavily influence
the way they think and act!"
- Pope John Paul II
Manila, 1981

 There is doubt that Jackie Moon’s (Will Ferrel) basketball team Flint Michigan Tropics would stay on in the ABA League, in view of the planned merging of the ABA with NBA. Moon cannot take the merging easily because this means his team not only needs to prove their worth in their games but also needs to show off to the league’s hard court followers. The problem is Moon's team is the least performing one in the ABA league and is not likely to make it when ABA merges with NBA. The plan initially demoralizes the team especially Moon, but eventually he starts thinking of ways to counter the threat of being eliminated. The team mates work together and cooperate especially when asked to do unconventional tricks to attract followers and also when Woody Harrelson’s character temporarily takes over the coaching job from Moon.

 It is the year 2035. A deadly virus is sweeping over London and claiming lives but there is no cure. It is the same virus that virtually decimated the population of Glasgow, Scotland 23 years earlier and which then led to the quarantine of the whole city mainly by means of a great metal wall. Everyone is presumed to have died in Scotland in that epidemic; however, there is evidence of some survivors according to recent satellite photos which suggest that there may be a cure. The British Prime Minister John Hatcher (Alexander Siddig) and his adviser Michael Canoris (David O’Hara) decide to send a team to Scotland to locate a scientist named Kane (Malcohm McDowell) who was working on a cure but was trapped inside the “Hotzone” when the quarantine started. On the advice of Police Chief Bill Nelson (Bob Hoskins), Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) is chosen to head the team. But her task turns out to be more difficult than expected. FULL REVIEW
