In anticipation of the much-awaited remake to be released later this year, we present this underrated sci-fi gem based on a novel by Stephen King (written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman). THE RUNNING MAN is set in a dystopian America, where the populace endures food scarcity and a repressive regime. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a convict forced to participate in a TV game show that pits prisoners against eccentric adversaries in a bid for their freedom. This action romp is packed with memorable one-liners and bloody mayhem! Rated R.
Presented on a 35mm print courtesy of Exhumed Films. Because we are operating with a single projector, this special 35mm screening will be presented with a short intermission before the final act of the film to accommodate a reel change.
