Review of The Running Man (1987)

2017: Following extensive economic collapse, a cop is jailed for refusing to kill hundreds of food rioters, and blamed for the killings, which his refusal does not prevent. Meeting a resistance movement in prison, he breaks out but is caught to participate in a reality TV game show. Along with two resistance comrades and a hot girl who happens to get beaten, tied up and strangled a lot with a strong sexual undercurrent, the cop has to run through an area of the city ruined by the 1997 earthquake, as gimmicky muscle men selected by a cheering studio audience stalk him.
