The Running Man (1987) - Move Review

The Running Man (1987) - Move Review. Hello, tune squad! Join us on this episode of The Afternoon Tune as we dive into the wildly entertaining, neon-drenched dystopia of The Running Man (1987) — the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action classic that predicted reality TV gone off the rails.

We break down the film’s over-the-top set pieces, unforgettable one-liners, and its surprisingly sharp political satire about media manipulation and state-controlled entertainment. From Arnold’s iconic performance as Ben Richards to the colorful roster of deadly “Stalkers,” we explore what makes this film a cult favorite and why it still hits harder than ever today.

💬 Topics we cover:

• How the movie compares to the Stephen King/Richard Bachman novella

• The satire behind the game show violence

• The best (and wildest) kills

• Performances from Arnold, Maria Conchita Alonso, and Richard Dawson

• How the film holds up in 2025

If you’re a fan of retro action, dystopian sci-fi, or Arnold at peak charisma, this is a review you don’t want to miss.
