Spartan and Huxley soon find proof that Cocteau instigated the whole escape, and team up with Friendly and his Scraps in order to stop Phoenix. Cocteau has engineered Phoenix’s escape to kill Friendly thereby “saving” his society. He preaches the dangers of Cocteau’s utopia, and does his best to sow discord when necessary. Friendly is the leader of the Scraps, a group of citizens that live underground, and emerge only to steal food to survive. He is unable to do so, and Cocteau suggests that he follow the thought floating through his barbaric head, kill Edgar Friendly (Denis Leary). Phoenix steals some guns from the “Hall of Violence” in a local museum and attempts to shoot Dr. Unfortunately the police officers of 2032 are no match for his brutality, being caught completely unaware. Spartan is quick to deduce where Phoenix will go and what he will do next. If crime is the disease, then the Demolition Man, John Spartan, is the cure! He begins wantonly killing guards and police officers, known in future-speak as “murderdeathkill,” the first reported homicides in 16 years. Phoenix is brought out of stasis for a parole hearing, knowing all about the computer controlled future he exists in, and escapes. Raymond Cocteau (Nigel Hawthorne), has created a utopian society in San Angeles where crime, poverty, social inequity are a thing of the past. Thirty-six years later, in 2032, the Southern California cities of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego have all merged to form San Angeles after the big 2010 earthquake decimated most of the coastal cities. Spartan receives a 70-year sentence, which includes behavior alterations while the convicts “sleep.” Both Phoenix and Spartan are placed in cryo chambers and frozen for their crimes. Through his actions, Spartan triggers an explosion that decimates the entire building, but both he and Phoenix survive–the latter accusing him of sacrificing the hostages’ lives to get at Phoenix.
He is a one man army, easily dispatching the henchmen, but finds no hostages–only Phoenix. Spartan is attempting to rescue 30 hostages taken by Phoenix. In Los Angeles, in 1996, LAPD officer John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone) single-handedly enters a warehouse where notorious gangster Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) is holed up.
