Equilibrium (2002 movie)

Equilibrium is an action-filled science-fiction film set in the future. Christian Bale, Sean Bean and Taye Diggs star in it as ninja-esque secret police officers for a totalitarian one-world government where war and strife are eradicated at the price of making emotion illegal -- similarities to classic dystopian novels such as Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World are evident.

Gun Kata is a fictitious martial arts discipline that features as part of the film. Gun Kata is based upon the premise that the positions and actions of antagonists can be predicted to a high degree of accuracy in any given combat situation.
