***30th Anniversary***
In the future (the year 2017), the rule of law is governed by television ratings. One show dominates the airwaves – THE RUNNING MAN – where convicted prisoners have a chance at freedom by running through a deadly gauntlet of hunters and killers. Host Damon Killian (Richard Dawson) may have finally met his match when the wrongly-convicted war criminal Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) becomes the show's most popular contestant. As Richards kills off colorful hunters one by one, he wins over fans and catches the attention of the underground resistance force lead by Mick Fleetwood. Co-starring Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse (The Body) Ventura, and Dweezil Zappa, THE RUNNING MAN is a marathon of blood, guts, and Schwarzenegger's signature one-liners!
