Synopsis
In a pop-art futuristic 21st century where war has been abolished and replaced by 'The Big Hunt'—a televised legal death-game where citizens alternate as Hunters and Victims to win millions—an American huntress on her tenth kill travels to Rome to assassinate a suave Italian victim, attempting to lure him into a live television sponsor commercial at the Temple of Venus before romantic attraction interferes. Elio Petri and Robert Sheckley's mod pop-art sci-fi satire starring Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress.
