Synopsis

Set in a post-apocalypse future in which most of the water has disappeared from the planet, we find a group of children, mostly teenagers, living at an orphanage run by the despotic rulers of the new Earth. The group in question consists of Jason, the group's ad hoc leader played by Jason Patric; Terra, played by Jami Gertz; Tug, played by Peter DeLuise; Rabbit, played by Claude Brooks; Metron, played by James Le Gros; and a little deaf boy named Daniel, played by Lukas Haas.

The group likes to play a somewhat rough competition game of hockey based on roller skates and are quite good at it. It has given them a unity that transcends the attempts to bring them to heel by the government who tries to influence the children into becoming future soldiers.

While hiding out in a cave, the children find an unusual orb of special power, which in reality is an alien entity called Bohdai. They quickly find it has unusual effects on them, especially Daniel who regains his hearing. They escape from the orphanage (on skates) and try to cross the desert looking for a place they can live free as government stormtroopers and wasteland bounty hunters search for them. They are later joined by fellow orphan, Darstar, played by Adrian Pasdar. Unbeknowest to the children, the government's devious scientific branch desperately searches for Bohdai, bringing danger to anyone who possesses it.
