1987 - The Running Man - Trailer (104) The year is 2017. The world economy has
collapsed. The United States has sealed
off it's borders and has become a military
controlled police state which controls TV,
movies, art, books, communication and
censorship. In the police state America
has become, criminals have a choice. They
can serve their sentences in prison or
they can take part in "The Running Man" a
government owned violent game-show where
contestants running for freedom are
pursued by "Stalkers" wrestler-like bounty
hunters. "The Running Man" is the top
rating show on network TV and Damon
Killian, the creator and host is the most
popular entertainer in the US. But one man
has yet to play... Former L.A. police

massacre of innocent people, when
disobeyed orders is recaptured, after
escaping from prison. Ben is forced to
appear on "The Running Man", joined by
resistance fighters William Laughlin and
Harold Weiss and Amber Mendez, (a network
employee who Richards took hostage and she
turned Richards into the authorities) are
chased by The Stalkers, as they search for
the secret base of the resistance, as they
