Synopsis
The Running Man is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Michael Glaser from a screenplay by Steven E. de Souza. It is loosely based on the 1982 novel The Running Man by Stephen King. Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, María Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, and Jesse Ventura, the film is set in a dystopic and totalitarian future United States, where a state-controlled broadcaster airs a deadly game show in which convicted criminals, known as "runners", must survive pursuit by themed gladiatorial assassins called "stalkers". The story follows Captain Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger), a framed police officer forced to compete on the show, who becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance against a corrupt government and its manipulative media machine.
