The Running Man

IT IS THE YEAR 2019. "THE RUNNING MAN" IS A DEADLY GAME NO ONE HAS EVER SURVIVED. BUT SCHWARZENEGGER HAS YET TO PLAY.

By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and U.S. society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity. The government pacifies the populace by broadcasting a number of game shows in which convicted criminals fight for their lives, including the gladiator-style The Running Man, hosted by the ruthless Damon Killian, where “runners” attempt to evade “stalkers” and certain death for a chance to be pardoned and set free.
