He IS the Law!Ĭhief amongst these Judges is Joe Dredd. This system of government spread throughout what remained of the world, and soon the survivors of the Atomic Wars were crammed into the world’s newest metropolises, the mega-cities.

The two fought atop the Statue of Liberty, and Joe threw Rico over the edge to his death. Once Joe returned to the city from his exile in the Cursed Earth, Rico tried to persuade him to join the effort when Joe refused, Rico tried to kill him. Griffin planned to create a new generation of Judges to enforce his views on the populace, but Rico wanted to create clones of himself to take over Mega-City One and killed Griffin to get him out of the way. Ilsa Hayden began working to reopen the cloning lab that created Rico and Joe. Since he and Joe had the same DNA, Joe was wrongly convicted of the murder and given a life sentence. Rico later broke out of prison with help from Judge Griffin and killed a reporter who had been investigating the Judge program. He and Judge Dredd were both friends in school, Joe was unaware of their true kinship, but it is unclear when Rico learned about their connection, but when he became a murderer, Joe judged him and sentenced him to life imprisonment, and his death was faked to reassure the public and prevent the truth of the clone program coming to light. His deviant behavior was attributed to something going wrong in his creation which made him to be the perfect criminal. Rico became a straightforward psychopath after his many years of service as a Judge, having reached a point where he even killed the innocent on the grounds that the division between guilt and innocence was merely a matter of timing and everyone would commit a crime given time. In the film, although he and Joseph Dredd were cloned from identical DNA, they did not look exactly the same. Rico Dredd appears as the main villain and antagonist of the 1995 film Judge Dredd movie played by Armand Assante.
