By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and U.S. society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity. The government pacifies the populace by broadcasting a number of game shows in which convicted criminals fight for their lives, including the gladiator-style The Running Man, hosted by the ruthless Damon Killian, where “runners” attempt to evade “stalkers” and certain death for a chance to be pardoned and set free.

I have never been able to forgive the makers of this film for ruining a great story and turning it into a joke of a movie that has nothing to do with it's original origins and aside from a few names, shares nothing with the short story upon which it is supposed to be based. I urge everyone to check out The Running Man by Richard Bachman (AKA Stephen King's pseudonym) as it is a gripping read and a million times better than this dirge. I only gave it 4/10 and I feel like I'm being generous because I did see it as a kid in the cinema back in the day and have fond memories of going to watch films with friends almost every weekend... Call me a soppy old git I guess. :)
