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.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
You want to know if The Running Man is a good-time macho show, right? Stay at home and watch professional wrestling.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The movie's problem is that all of the action scenes are versions of the same scenario.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It's not quite Network, but then it also doesn't take itself too seriously.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
30 Aug 2004
rotten:
Pretty warmed-over stuff, this future world of the terminal TV game shows, and director Glaser fails to muster much pace and punch.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

rotten:
Schwarzenegger sadistically dispatches the baddies, enunciating typical wisecrack remarks (many repeated from his previous films), but it's all too easy.
