By , after a worldwide economic collapse, the United States has become a totalitarian police state , censoring all cultural activity. The U. In , Ben Richards, a police helicopter pilot framed for a massacre during a food riot in Bakersfield , California, escapes from a labor camp with two resistance fighters, Harold Weiss and William Laughlin, and finds refuge at a resistance camp headed by their leader, Mic. Instead of joining the resistance who detest Richards at first due to his previous ties with the police , Richards seeks shelter at his brother's apartment. Richards, after discovering she has been secretly making music which is illegal by government law asks Mendez about the whereabouts of his brother, and she says that he was taken for "re-education. Blackmailing and taking Amber hostage, Richards attempts to flee to Hawaii, but she alerts airport security and Richards is captured and taken to ICS before the police can arrest him. Ben learns that Killian had enrolled them as runners anyway and swears revenge, which Killian brushes off. As the game begins, Richards and his friends are sent into the game zone, an abandoned part of Los Angeles devastated by a prior earthquake, where they are attacked by the first stalker, Subzero. They fight back and Richards garrotes Subzero to death with barbed wire — the first time a stalker has ever died on the show. Laughlin and Weiss search for the network's uplink facilities, which they realize are in the game zone. Amber sees a falsified news report on Richards' capture and, suspicious of the media's veracity, does some investigating. After learning that footage of the massacre was doctored to incriminate Richards, she is captured by her ICS colleagues and sent into the game zone where she meets up with Richards and his comrades. The runners split up into groups of two, then each pair is pursued by a different stalker, Buzzsaw, and Dynamo. Buzzsaw mortally wounds Laughlin, but Richards slays Buzzsaw by bisecting him with his own chainsaw. Weiss and Amber locate the uplink and learn the access codes, but Dynamo finds them and kills Weiss by electrocution. Amber's screams lead Richards to her, and as the two evade Dynamo, the stalker's buggy flips, trapping him inside. Refusing to kill a helpless opponent, Richards leaves Dynamo alive to jeers from the audience. He and Amber then return to Laughlin, who before dying, reveals that the resistance has a hideout within the game zone and begs Richards to complete their mission for them. Back at ICS, Killian sees Richards' popularity growing, with many viewers rooting for him to win instead of the stalkers. Off-camera, Killian offers Richards a job as a stalker; but when Richards refuses, Killian sends in the next stalker, Fireball. Fireball chases them into an abandoned factory, where Amber discovers the charred and decomposing corpses of the previous seasons' "winners," realizing that their victory was faked and they were killed and dumped inside the game zone. Fireball goes after Amber, but Richards rescues her and kills him by sabotaging his flamethrower and lighting the resulting puddle of fuel. Frustrated and running out of options, Killian calls upon Captain Freedom, a retired stalker, to kill them. However, when Freedom refuses, the network creates digital body doubles of Freedom, Richards, and Amber, which are then used to fake Richards' and Amber's deaths on screen. In the game zone, Richards and Amber are found by Mic and taken to the resistance's hideout, where they learn of their supposed deaths. Using the access codes, the rebels get into ICS' control room, broadcasting footage that exonerates Richards and reveals the truth about the game's previous contestants. As Richards heads to the main studio floor, shocking the audience who had watched him supposedly die, Amber is ambushed by Dynamo. She is able to set off a sprinkler above his head, causing his weapons to short circuit and electrocute him to death. Richards confronts Killian, who begs for his life, saying he created the show to appease the people's love of television and televised violence. In response, Richards decides to give the audience what they want, sending Killian into the game zone in a rocket sled. Without the protective netting which was removed by the resistance when they made their assault, the sled hits a Cadre Cola billboard bearing Killian's likeness and explodes, killing him to the delight of the audience. Richards and Amber kiss and then walk out of the studio hand in hand. Christopher Reeve was once attached to play Ben Richards. Schwarzenegger has stated this was a "terrible decision", as Glaser "shot the movie like was a television show, losing all the deeper themes", and believes this hurt the film. Pop star Paula Abdul choreographed the pre-show dance sequences. The music used for the pre-show entertainment was composed by Jackie Jackson and was dubbed "Paula's Theme" in her honor. Artisan Entertainment released the film on DVD in , and again in The release includes new special features, audio commentaries and sound mix. The Running Man ( film) - Wikipedia

Stephen notices Rex by the car he saw Stella previously drive. Rex does not immediately recognise Stephen until Stella arrives on the scene, introducing Stephen to "Jim Jerome". Then, Rex decides to keep Stephen close so that they can find out exactly how much he knows or suspects. If and when Stephen reveals that he knows too much, they will deal with him at that time in the appropriate manner. The immediate issue is for Stella to get another room, as they aren't supposed to be that close yet. Rex believes that in simulating only a casual relationship between the two of them, Stephen might be more willing to open up to her. Rex's plan places a further wedge between himself and Stella, who just wants to be with her husband. Stella and Rex spend more time with Stephen and find that he asks a lot of questions about their lives, and secretly writes notes in a little notebook. Stephen takes a photograph of them, which Rex believes he wants as evidence for the insurance company. Believing that, Rex "accidentally" drops the camera in the water. Rex gives Stella the task of trying to get a look at Stephen's notebook. During their day together, Stella almost lets slip to Stephen that Rex and Jerome are the same person. Seeing Stephen's room door ajar and knowing he is not inside, Stella sneaks in and tries to find his notebook. Stephen catches her in his room before she can read the notebook's contents, and Stella implies that she was in his room to seduce him. They make love. After their lovemaking session, Stephen tells her among other things that he no longer works for the insurance company, and that what he writes in his notebook are musings about his travels, which he shows her. She now realises that he knows nothing about their scam and that his interest in them is purely as a man wanting a woman. She is so relieved that once again, with her guard down, she lets slip that Jerome is Rex, but is able to cover up her mistake. Thinking that Stephen does know, Rex later tells Stella that their new plan, with no more scams, is to ditch Stephen by leaving first thing in the morning before he awakens, and crossing the border into Gibraltar. Relieved that there will be no more scams, Stella does not tell Rex what she has found out about Stephen. The next morning, Stephen, awake and alone in his bed, finds one of Stella's expensive earrings in the bed. Hearing a noise outside, he gets up and sees Rex and Stella driving off in their car. He rushes off in order to return Stella's earring. He catches up to them at a roadblock in town. Stella initially believes Stephen has come for her, but Stephen shows Stella the earring. She thinks this could get her into trouble with Rex if he finds out. Stephen is unable to return the earring before Rex returns. Rex, seeing Stephen, is angry, as he still believes Stephen is after them. Rex tells Stephen to meet him and Stella for a drink further up the mountain. With Stephen following the pair in his own car along the winding mountain road, Rex tries to run Stephen off the road and over the cliff. Rex, seeing Stephen's car go off the road, believes he has been successful. Stella is horrified. Two road workers witness the event, and are able to save Stephen, who believes Rex tried to run him off the road out of jealousy. Rex, with a hysterical Stella as his passenger, drives off toward the Gibraltar border. They are questioned at border patrol. The police , who have reached Stephen in the mountain, alert border patrol to stop Rex and Stella. When Rex figures out what is going on, he notices that Stella has run off into the crowd with the bank draft. He jumps back into the car and drives off into the crowd chasing after her. Rex eventually catches up with Stella in a crowded church. She tells Rex that Stephen had become only a paint salesman who was not onto their scam, leading Rex to the realisation that all his machinations were unnecessary. He tries to get the bank draft from her. She replies that he will never be able to cash the draft as the authorities everywhere will know he killed Stephen, thanks to Stephen's having her insured earring in his possession. Incensed, Rex tries to strangle Stella out of jealousy. He stops as he realises what he is doing. When the police arrive, Rex drives off while the police take Stella into custody. At the police station, Stella is surprised to see Stephen there, alive. Stephen refuses to press charges against either Rex or Stella, still believing Rex acted out of jealousy. Stella continues the ruse as she tells Stephen that she told "Jerome" about their tryst. Meanwhile, Rex drives to an aerodrome and steals a plane. However, he is unaware of a leak in the fuel line. The plane runs out of fuel mid-air and crashes into the sea. Rex is pulled out of the water, barely alive, and returned to the Spanish dock, where Stella and the police are waiting. As Rex dies, Stella still continues the ruse, stating to the police that he is Jim Jerome, an Australian man she barely knew. The Ballad of the Running Man was published in The Guardian called it "horrifying, gripping. Christopher Reeve was once attached to play Ben Richards. Schwarzenegger has stated this was a "terrible decision", as Glaser "shot the movie like it was a television show, losing all the deeper themes", and believes this hurt the film. Pop star Paula Abdul choreographed the pre-show dance sequences. The music used for the pre-show entertainment was composed by Jackie Jackson and was dubbed "Paula's Theme" in her honor. Artisan Entertainment released the film on DVD in , and again in The release includes new special features, audio commentaries and sound mix. Olive Films under licence from Paramount, who owns the film due to having the Taft Pictures library made a second Blu-Ray release on February 19, Paramount also owns the TV and streaming rights. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two-and-a-half stars out of four, complaining that "all the action scenes are versions of the same scenario", but praised Dawson's performance, stating that he "has at last found the role he was born to play. It's not quite Network , but then it also doesn't take itself too seriously. With Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former state security officer framed as the perpetrator of a notorious public massacre, sitting in as victim-of-the-week, The Running Man has little to do but run through the game's four stages. For the right audience, it'll be fun. It's for action fans with a taste for something off the beaten track—but not too far. Pumped and primed for self- parody, the burly star proves as funny as he is ferocious in this tough guy's commentary on America's preoccupation with violence and game shows. The site's critical consensus states, " The Running Man is winking sci-fi satire with ridiculous clothes and workmanlike direction". On the film's 30th anniversary in , The Running Man was cited by a BBC journalist as having made accurate predictions about life in , including an economic collapse, and offering an enduring critique of "American television culture". Stephen King isn't a fan of The Running Man film because how little it retains from the novel it's based on. A modern remake of the film has been mooted. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
