Still brilliant and quite an accurate view on the media of the future. Sure it’s all about Arnie running around fighting ever increasingly difficult opponents giving him more and more opportunities to throw one liners after dispatching each one but I can’t help but enjoy the way the media is shown to cut and edit footage to show the public what they want them to see… Excellent, one of my favourite Arnie films.
Synopsis: In a dark and depressing future humanity is almost entirely reliant on the TV. The top rated show is the Running Man which gives convicted criminals the chance to win their freedom by taking part in an extreme version of gladiators. Ben Richards is framed for a crime he didn’t commit and must now take part in the Running Man in an attempt to win back his freedom.
