Plot

This future-set action thriller originally aired on the ABC television network. It takes place in a time when the hottest sport around is a high-tech combination of in-line skating and skateboarding that is so challenging that only the toughest, most dexterous athletes can thrive. Tremaine Ramsey is the greatest athlete of them all. Fame for him is a drug; it is such an obsession that it threatens his personal and professional life. When a terrorist group arises that threatens the world's safety, Tre is asked to use his special skills to stop them. In so doing, he is forced to reevaluate his attitudes and behavior towards others. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Futuresport is a made-for-TV movie directed by Ernest Dickerson, starring Dean Cain, Vanessa Williams, and Wesley Snipes. It originally aired on ABC in October 1998, and released on DVD in March 1999.

The movie is set in 2025, and centers around a sport called "Futuresport" (a combination of basketball, baseball and hockey that uses hoverboards and rollerblades) created as a non-lethal way to reduce gang warfare. Tre (Dean Cain) must save the world from Hawaiian Liberation Organization terrorists by winning in the game of futuresport.

Portions of the movie were filmed in the Vancouver Public Library. Futuresport had a budget of $9 million, which was relatively high for a TV movie at the time.
