A wrongly-convicted man must try to survive a public execution gauntlet staged as a TV game show.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Ben Richards, a cop in the totalitarian America of 2019, framed for massacring rioting civilians during a famine. After escaping from jail, Richards tries to prove his innocence, but his efforts are thwarted at every turn by a regime in need of a scapegoat. Richards is captured along with an innocent civilian, Amber Mendez (Maria Conchita Alonso), and they are forced to participate in a violent game show called "The Running Man," hosted by the unctuous Damon Killian (Richard Dawson). The object of the game for Richards and Mendez: obtain freedom by staying alive against a gauntlet of skillful assassins like "Subzero" (Prof. Toru Tanaka) and "Captain Freedom" (Jesse Ventura), each armed with unique weapons like razor-sharp hockey sticks and chainsaws. With the help of some fellow "contestants," Richards is able to tap into government computers and prove his innocence. The Running Man was very loosely based on a short story by Stephen King, who wrote it under the name Richard Bachman.

    surely the winner of the worst adaptation of a Stephen King book? (edited)

    That would probably go to the Dark Tower or the latest Stand show.

    They are always "wrongly-convicted" aren't they?

    Not always. Sometimes it was a good cop in a bad mood. 
    …or someone not out looking for trouble, but trouble came and found them.

    Watched this and, then, read the book some time later. To say that I was confused would be an understatement. Almost nothing alike. Still, the movie is great.

    MIck Fleetwood enjoying a brief acting career too - he wasn't awful in it. Even if he wasn't a fish a la Star Trek TNG!

    Wasn't allowed to watch this as a kid so I read the book, which seemed very eerily similar to 9/11, but i finally watched the film a few years ago... At first I hated it for being not as good as the book, but now I love both, the film is ridiculous and funny, the book is desperate and mainly depressing.
