Digital Playground released "The Tribunal," a dystopian thriller, on September 3, 2026. The film, directed by Ricky Greenwood, stars Abigaiil Morris, Little Puck, Emma Rosie, Van Wylde, Mick Blue, and Parker Ambrose, and is set in a future Los Angeles where crime is entertainment and justice is televised.
"The Tribunal" Plot Overview
Set in Los Angeles in 2149, "The Tribunal" depicts a city ravaged by war, where governments have collapsed and powerful corporate blocs control territory and information. In this future, crime has become a form of entertainment, and justice is delivered live on television. The narrative centers on Kansas, portrayed by Abigaiil Morris, who is the Tribunal’s most renowned bounty hunter. Kansas is described as ruthless, seductive, and seemingly unstoppable.
Kansas finds herself entangled in a conspiracy that threatens to expose the underlying truth of the system she serves. Her successes are recognized by Tribunal Chief Gordon, played by Mick Blue, a powerful figure within the organization. Gordon presents Kansas with her latest reward: M57, a male corps operative portrayed by Parker Ambrose, who is sent to fulfill her desires. Episode 1 of "The Tribunal" shows Kansas, after apprehending fugitive Cameron Clark, returning home. Chief Gordon instructs her to put on a show with her reward, M57, an android programmed to meet her requests. Kansas is depicted sucking the droid's penis and riding it for the audience watching at home.
Meanwhile, Tribunal analyst Kora Vance, played by Little Puck, discovers an algorithm that not only predicts crime but also manufactures it. When Kora steals crucial data and escapes, Gordon dispatches the Hunters, including rising star Bomber, played by Emma Rosie, turning the pursuit into a global spectacle. As Kora repeatedly evades capture, Kansas begins to question the system to which she has dedicated herself. Sensing she is being set up to burn out under the spotlight, Kansas deviates from protocol and pursues her own investigation. This path leads her to Bruce, played by Van Wylde, the shadow ruler of Bloc H and Kansas’s former lover, who may possess the key to uncovering the corruption within The Tribunal.

The setting included rusty corrugated steel walls, a razor-wired 12-foot fence, and junked cars in the yard. Performers in scantily-clad, state-sponsored reality show assassin roles were present, along with rebel prisoners in masks and tactical gear. Cubbi Thompson, playing an assassin named Mask in a non-sex role, was noted for her character's use of a heavy chain as a weapon. Thompson stated her character's role was to "kill, kill, kill."
