The Running Man Has Screened, And The First Reactions For The Glen Powell-Led Movie Delve Into How It ‘Bottled Magic With Stephen King’s Novel’

As a huge fan of classic sci-fi, I always loved The Running Man. The movie throws you into a bleak, near-future world where Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character, Ben Richards, is desperate enough to participate in a twisted TV show of the same name. The premise is simple but terrifying: he agrees to be hunted by professional killers for a month, and if he survives, he gets a big payout. I remember reading a review by Rachel Leishman from The Mary Sue, and she really praised the way director Paul Michael Glaser and Arnold worked together – it clearly showed on screen!
