The Running Man (1987)
The Running Manreturns later this year withGlen Powellin the lead role. Nearly 40 years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger had the first crack at Stephen King’s novel in Paul Michael Glaser’sThe Running Man. Like Powell, Schwarzenegger plays Ben Richards, a former government official sent to prison after being framed for murder.
Left with no other option, Richards reluctantly agrees to participate inThe Running Man, a game show where criminals can earn their freedom by outrunning stalkers and avoiding death. Once in the game, Ben realizes that host Damon Killian (Richard Dawson) will never let him win.The Running Manfollows Schwarzenegger’s action movie formula — get jacked, recite comedic one-liners, and kill the bad guys. It’s not Schwarzenegger’s best, butThe Running Manis wildly entertaining, especially thanks to Dawson’s eccentric performance.
