THE RUNNING MAN

December 8, 10 & 14, 2023
The Running Man
Introduced by Olympia Film Society’s Jeff Windley on 12/10
The Arnold Schwarzenegger classic! By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and American society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity. The government pacifies the populace by broadcasting a number of game shows in which convicted criminals fight for their lives, including the gladiator-style The Running Man, hosted by the ruthless Damon Killian, where “runners” attempt to evade “stalkers” and certain death for a chance to be pardoned and set free.
Dir: Paul Michael Glaser / 1987 / US / 101 min

“However far away from the book’s original vision the movie may stray, it ends up right in Arnold’s wheelhouse, letting him dispatch a series of worthy rivals with aplomb.” – Adam Nayman, The Ringer

SCREENING: FRI 12/8 4PM; SUN 12/10 7PM; THU 12/14 7PM
