She escapes and later encounters Kaplan, whom she promptly kills after reading her mind. Meanwhile, Kay tries to execute Anderson with her own weapon, but the pistol's DNA scanner does not recognize him and explodes, taking his hand off. Seeing his cover blown, Chan attacks Dredd but is killed. Dredd encounters Chan and is suspicious that he does not ask about Anderson's status. The four relieve Volt and Guthrie from duty and are allowed into the building. While Dredd works his way toward Ma-Ma, she calls in the corrupt Judges Lex, Kaplan, Chan, and Alvarez. Kay then escapes with her as a hostage and takes her to Ma-Ma's base on the top floor. A pair of armed teens confront Dredd and Anderson, allowing Kay to disarm and overpower Anderson. Judges Volt and Guthrie respond to Dredd's call, but Ma-Ma's computer expert denies them entry by persuading them the security system is malfunctioning.

When they meet, Dredd throws Caleb off the tower in full view of Ma-Ma.ĭredd suspects Ma-Ma is desperate to keep Kay quiet and beats him for information. Meanwhile, Ma-Ma sends her henchman Caleb to search for the Judges. The Judges breach an outer wall and call for backup. Arriving at the 76th floor, the Judges are assaulted by Ma-Ma and her men with rotary cannons that rip through the walls, killing numerous residents. Ma-Ma orders Dredd and Anderson killed, forcing the Judges to fight their way through dozens of armed thugs. In response, Ma-Ma's forces seize the tower's security control room and seal the building (closing its blast shield doors under the pretext of a security test) to prevent the Judges from leaving or summoning help. They arrest a thug named Kay, whom Anderson's mind probe reveals to be the one that carried out the executions, and Dredd decides to take him in for questioning. Dredd and Anderson are sent in to investigate and learn of a drug den, which they raid. They are infused with Slo-Mo (an addictive new drug that reduces the user's perception of time to 1% of normal) and thrown down to the atrium from the top floor. In a 200-storey slum tower block called Peach Trees, drug lord Madeline "Ma-Ma" Madrigal executes three rogue drug dealers by having them skinned alive. Judge Dredd is tasked by the Chief Judge with evaluating new recruit Cassandra Anderson, a powerful psychic who marginally failed the aptitude tests to become a Judge. The only force for order are the Judges, who act as judge, jury, and executioner.

In 2080, most of the United States is a dystopic post nuclear war wasteland known as the Cursed Earth. The theatrical gross made a sequel unlikely, but home media sales and fan efforts endorsed by 2000 AD 's publisher Rebellion Developments have maintained the possibility of a second film. Dredd saw greater success following its home release, and has since been recognised as a cult film. Despite the positive critical response, the film earned just over $41 million at the box office on an estimated budget of $30–45 million.
Critics were generally positive about the film's visual effects, casting and action, while criticism focused on excessive violence as well as a perceived lack of the satirical elements that are found in the source comic.
