The Running ManDiscographies Movies Reviews In this action thriller based on an early story by Stephen King, Los Angeles in the year
2017 has become a police state in the wake of the global economy's total collapse. All
forms of entertainment are government controlled, and the most popular show on television
is an elaborate game show in which convicted criminals are given a chance to escape by
running through a gauntlet of brutal killers known as "Stalkers." Anyone who
survives is given their freedom and a condominium in Hawaii, so when a wrongly accused
citizen (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is chosen as a contestant, all hell breaks loose. Cheesy
sets and a slimy role for game-show host Richard Dawson make this violent mess of mayhem a
candidate for guilty pleasure; it is the kind of movie that truly devoted Arnold fans will
want to watch more than once. And check those credits--choreography by Paula Abdul! Buy The Movie
