For his work in alleviating the threat to San Angeles in 2032, John Spartan’s original prison sentence was expunged and he was invited to continue his law enforcement career through the tumultuous landscape he helped create, though not all were happy to see Cocteau’s serene society ruined by the Demolition Man.

Sister cities of San Angeles were in the midst of their own master plans of aggressive gentrification, and many who prospered in their modern civilization preferred to keep the status quo. As civil wars erupt throughout California, John Spartan brings justice and equality to the masses while being simultaneously condemned as a danger to the faux-utopian worlds cultivated over the years.

In a 7-year time lapse, we watch John Spartan gather and train an elite force of rebels which includes his estranged daughter, Angela Spartan. In his own destructive fashion, Spartan breaks down the pillars of the new world while bonding with his daughter through gun battles and unnecessary explosions. When the dust begins to settle and people find their way, a tentative peace is found, and the Spartans pull back from the spotlight.

John opens a small tailoring business. Angela, along with her 15-year-old daughter, Emily, help with the store, but their happily ever after is cut short. We see John getting sick from some mysterious disease, and when the doctors shake their heads at an optimistic outcome, it’s suggested they freeze him while research on the disease continues. Frightened, but furious over time already lost with his daughter, he agrees to be cryogenically frozen once again.

It’s 2059. San Bernardino. Emily Spartan is in the midst of wild car chase. She’s a wild cop who takes crime personally. She never lets a perpetrator get away, and she can’t keep a partner for more than a week. After a dangerous pursuit, Spartan crashes her car then calls down a police drone to catch a ride into the sky. She lands on the car of the men who’ve just robbed another rich neighborhood as they were attempted to cross into Los Angeles. There’s a makeshift wall surrounding the city that has removed itself from New California, and its lawlessness makes refuge for criminals.

As Spartan pulls the robbers from the vehicle and beats the crap out of them, a nearby explosion sends chaos into the streets. The robbers flee and Spartan abandons pursuit to aid those hurt by the blast. Back at the police station, we discover this was another in a series of attacks against the city of San Bernadino, once a part of San Angeles decades ago.

Spartan is fed up with the department’s inability to bring law to LA. The city and state have failed in negotiations and been beaten through years of combat. The people of LA are an army of well-trained soldiers that no one can defeat. Spartan wants to go in and take down their infamous leader, but no one will support her. She needs a soldier that isn’t afraid to kick some ass. She needs Grandpa John.

As his relative, Emily is granted power to bring John out of cryogenics despite their being no advancement in the cure of his disease. When John is thawed, and discovers who Emily is, he asks about his daughter, Emily’s mother. She tells him that she’s trapped behind enemy lines and needs his help to get her out. He agrees, knowing that every minute outside the fridge brings him closer to death.

John and Emily Spartan sneak into Los Angeles to find out where Angela might be, only to be discovered as police officers by a local gang. It’s during captivity they hear that Angela Spartan is somehow tied up with those that rule LA. She’s staying within city hall’s fortified tower, a building able to withstand an 8.2 magnitude earthquake and fitted with turrets, anti-aircraft guns, and concentric barriers of defense.

The pair of Spartans break free from the gang and begin a one hour non-stop path of destruction, unleashing hell on LA as they work their way up the chain of command.
Unfortunately, John isn’t the demolition man he used to be, and his illness was far more advanced than even he thought.

When they finally breach city hall and find LA’s top dogs, John is coughing up blood, and can hardly stand. What’s worse, it turns out that Angela Spartan, John’s daughter and Emily’s mother, is the bad-ass leader of the lawless city and its ruthless army. After seeing her father do so much in the name of the law only to dwindle from her life again, Angela decided to live according to her own rules and create a world of anarchy.

John realizes too that Emily knew all along her mother’s role in LA, and that she thought John could convince Anglea to give up her throne and return lawless LA to California. John begs Angela to consider Emily’s proposal, but she refuses. Only after John falls, clearly dying from his disease, does she promise to turn over a new leaf. She wants him to go back into cryogenic stasis, but he says it’s too late. He’s had enough time in the fridge. Besides, he says, every time he comes out, things are a mess.

The walls of Los Angeles are torn down amid celebration and a statue of John Spartan is erected on the city’s border. Angela and the people of LA are granted immunity as per the peace negotiations, and Angela reopens Spartan Tailoring. She asks her daughter if she thinks the Spartan family can really live peaceful lives as Emily receives a call on the police radio. Emily says probably not, Mom. Grandpa John is probably blowing shit up in Heaven as we speak. I hope so anyway, cause life without danger is pretty damned boring. Emily speeds off on her motorcycle, siren blaring, and passes the statue of her grandfather.

The engraving on the statue says John ‘Demolition Man’ Spartan, Savior of San Angeles.
