A guaranteed original U.S. 'half sheet' movie poster for Norman Jewison's 1975 dystopian skating sci-fi "Rollerball", starring James Caan, John Houseman, Maud Adams, John Beck, Moses Gunn, Pamela Hensley, Barbara Trentham and Ralph Richardson.

The year is 2018 and society is governed by mega-corporations rather than countries. Rollerball, an ultra-violent sport, is watched world-wide and worshipped like a religion. When the captain of the Houston Rollerball team is targeted, the already lax rules disappear altogether. Why are the corporations scared of him and why do they want him out of the sport?

The amazing artwork of this poster is by movie poster master Bob Peak. This example is a smaller and rarer U.S. 'half sheet' movie poster. It has never been folded and as our photos show, is in amazing condition for its age. It definitely needs to be framed and on display. A stunner.

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

By the way, back in 1975, the year 2018 must have seen a life-time away. I am very happy that only some parts of the story have come to pass!

Note: This original movie poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
