Dredd is a 2012 British science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written by Alex Garland. It is based on the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd and its eponymous character by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Karl Urban stars as Judge Dredd, a law enforcer given the power of judge, jury and executioner in the vast dystopian metropolis of Mega-City One that lies within a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Alongside rookie Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), Dredd is forced to bring order to a feared 200-story slum and its resident drug lord, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey).
Garland began writing the script as early as 2006, although development of a new Judge Dredd film adaptation was not announced until December 2008, that would be unrelated to the 1995 film adaptation Judge Dredd. Principal photography began in November 2010, with an estimated US$45 million budget. The project was shot using 3D cameras throughout on practical sets, and on location in the South African cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg. Dredd was released on 7 September 2012 in the United Kingdom. It is scheduled for release worldwide on 21 September 2012.
Plot of Dredd (2012)
The future America is an irradiated waste land known as the Cursed Earth. On the east coast of North America lies Mega-City One – a vast, violent metropolis containing 800 million residents and where 17,000 crimes are reported every day. "Slo-Mo", a new drug which slows the user's perception of time to 1% of normal sweeps the city. The only force of order is the "Judges", a police force who possess the combined powers of judge, jury, and executioner. During a routine shift, the famed and feared Judge Dredd is tasked by the Chief Judge with evaluating rookie Judge Cassandra Anderson, a powerful psychic who has failed the tests to become a full Judge. Elsewhere, in the 200-story slum tower block "Peach Trees", ruthless drug lord Ma-Ma infuses three men with Slo-Mo and throws their skinned bodies from the top of the tower. Dredd and Anderson respond to the incident. Learning of a drug den on one of the floors, the Judges assault the room and arrest Kay, one of Ma-Ma's henchmen, after Anderson psychically detects his involvement in the murders. To prevent Kay being removed from the building and interrogated about her operation, Ma-Ma's forces seize the tower's security control room and seal the building using its blast shields under the pretense of a security test, preventing the Judges from leaving or summoning help.
Ma-Ma demands that Dredd and Anderson are killed before the shields will be again opened. Several groups of armed men unsuccessfully try to kill the pair as the Judges proceed upwards through the building with Kay to find safety.

Storyline of Dredd (2012)
The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One - a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture - a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma and her ruthless clan...
