Los Angeles 1996 - In a duel with the half-genius, half-mad criminal Phoenix, police officer John Spartan, aka Demolition Man, accidentally causes the death of twenty hostages in the wreckage of an exploding house. Punishment is carried out by hibernation - freezing for decades. For Phoenix for his crime, for Spartan for his unintentional killing...
San Angeles 2032 - the perfect city, full of harmony, peace and safe telepathic love. Only somewhere underground, a group of "bad" people believe in a free life. When a criminal like Phoenix flees to this non-violent oasis of peace during a parole hearing (purely formal), the police have no choice but to bring Spartan back to life to save the city.
