Demolition Man Main Offender

In this episode we look at the 1993 Sci-fi romp, Demolition Man. Rogue cop John Spartan will stop at nothing to halt the crimes of long-time criminal Simon Phoenix. Just as he thinks he has the edge over his nemesis, he is falsely convicted over the loss of human lives, along his accuser, Phoenix. In a revolutionary form of imprisonment, the pair are cryogenically frozen, which has sweeping impacts on crime in Los Angeles. 32 years later, Phoenix is unfrozen for parole, with cryo-prison founder Dr Cocteau intending to use him to quell an uprising of the lower class, known as the ‘Scraps’. Desensitized from serious crime, the modern police force lacks the hardline skills to deal with the threat of Phoenix, who has escaped his parole. The San Angeles police department are instructed to bring him back by any means, so they unfreeze Spartan, the Demolition Man, to help bring Phoenix to justice. Let’s ditch the three shells and work out who is the movies main offender!
