English Summary:

The Blood of Heroes (also released as The Salute of the Jugger) is a 1989 Australian-American post-apocalyptic film written and directed by David Webb Peoples, produced by Charles Roven, and starring Rutger Hauer, Joan Chen, and Vincent D'Onofrio.^[1] The film has inspired the creation of the sport Jugger.

In a barren world caused by wars waged in the 20th century and now forgotten, most live from hand to mouth in enclaves known as "market-towns" or "dog-towns", scrounging out a bare subsistence harvesting hardy crops, raising dogs as food, and trading in trinkets from the past.

What little entertainment exists comes primarily from a brutal sport known as The Game. It is played by bands of roving teams known as juggs, who challenge local teams. They might be considered professional athletes, as they make their living through the tribute paid by the town people, should they defeat the local team. Their trophy is the dog skull from the town. The Game involves two armoured teams of five attempting to score by placing a dog skull on the opposing team's goalpost. One unarmed player—the "quick"—runs with the skull while being protected by his/her teammates from attack by the opposing team.

Hungarian Summary:

A jövőben járunk. Mivel nem jut mindenkinek élelem és víz, az emberek egymás ellen fordultak, és aki kapja, marja. Egy csapat Sallow vezetésével járja a falvakat és városokat, hogy megmérkőzzenek a túlélésért. A kemény, sőt brutális "vetélkedőkön" csak a legjobbak maradhatnak talpon. Egy alkalommal a futó lesérül. Bár megnyerik a meccset, mégsem tarthat velük tovább. Ekkor kerül be a csapatba az ügyes és tehetséges Kidda. Győzelmet győzelemre halmoznak, s bár szinte elérhetetlen cél számukra kihívni és legyőzni a Liga híres csapatát, mégis megpróbálják.
