The year is 2019. Television is now ruling people's lives. The most popular "audience participation" game show is "The Running Man" - where convicts can win pardons instead of "parting gifts" by defeating murderous henchmen known as "stalkers." The stalkers haven't had much of a challenge lately... until Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) comes along. Wrongly convicted of slaughtering 1500 innocent people, Richards is the next contestant to fight for his life...and his freedom. When "Running Man" host Damon Killian (Dawson) says, "Come on down!", be prepared to pay with your life! But Ben Richards isn't going down without a fight. Now, the entire country is glued to the tube in a heart-pounding "sudden death" battle.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is Katniss Everdeen.
"BUT I HOPE YOU SAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY FIST, CUZ I'M GOING TO RAM IT INTO YOUR STOMACH AND RIP OUT YOUR GAWD DAMN SPINE!!"
@hesocrazy: That's why he was so perfect for the role.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not the only future state governor in this movie. Jesse Ventura was in this movie also.
@tsfisch: He'd been training for that role for years as the host of Family Feud. No real difference between the Feud and the Running Man competition
I thought of this movie when I saw The Hunger Games. Not identical by any means, just some things that reminded me of it.
@tsfisch: You're right! I hadn't thought of it that way!
Richard Dawson makes this movie...
