The Running Man (1987) Review
The Running Man is a better idea than film. The concept, a death sport television show operating as the primary mechanism of social control in a dystopia.
Richard Dawson played the game show host in The Running Man, close to a hostile version of his own real job, having hosted Family Feud for years. He came from British comedy and Hogan’s Heroes, and the performance is unsettling because he barely alters his television persona.
