Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
It had been many years since I’ve seen this. Such an interesting story of a futuristic killer game show that has proven to be not too far off the map. Forgot about Jesse Ventura being in it. HA!
