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.
Neon-soaked dystopia meets relentless, arcade-style carnage in this hyper-saturated vision of a media-obsessed future. Schwarzenegger trades philosophical depth for pure, muscle-bound momentum as he hunts through a televised death trap.
