Running Man (1987) - Rückblick / Review Deutsch (Dokumentation)

A comprehensive documentary about the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. Background information, facts, and my personal opinion on the film can be found in the video. The USA in 2017: After the collapse of the global economy, the land of opportunity has degenerated into a police state. Food is scarce, and the totalitarian regime censors art, music, and communication. The popular game show "The Running Man" is used to keep the population entertained and suppress their desire for freedom. In this sadistic program, convicted criminals are hunted through a deadly arena by professional human hunters. Those who manage to escape the hunting grounds are promised freedom and luxury. Even the wrongly convicted police officer Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is forced to participate in the gruesome show, which no contestant has yet survived. Press: This colorful action spectacle criticizes a system that entertains the masses with brutal games.
