The Running Man (1987)
Under the family feud represented Cadre government, television has become a cutting edge spectacle of mass control. Conspicuous gladiators hunt prey-like criminals for the benefit of an all-american studio audience. Will beefcake Ben Richards flex enough power-violence and one-liners to successfully deconstruct a corrupt game show? Is this movie an Orwellian tale featuring the brutal side of two future Governors, as envisioned by Stephen King? Is there still truth in a world where digital archives can be edited and mass reproduced in satellite signal? How did Professor Toru get a degree in Sub Zero Hockying anyhow?
Featuring The Governator, Governor Body Ventura, Yaphet Kotto, Richard Kiss Me Dawson & Maria Conchita Alonso. Dweezil Zappa has a line somewhere too.
Directed by Paul Michael Glasser.
