The original " Hunger Games " story where captured people are tested to their extreme in kill or be killed situations for human entertainment televised and gamblers. Thrilling, gripping, action packed with an outstanding lead role by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Ben Richards a helicopter pilot commander who refused from higher authorities to shoot down innocent non armed people. His punishment was finding himself within the realm of the Running ๐ Man games. Ben must team up with other competitors or be eliminated by death by the Running Man company champion killer fighters. So many fantastic actors and entertainers such as Mick Fleetwood and Dweeble Zappa. Written originally by the legendary horror and thriller novel author Stephen King. Synthesised music soundtracks 80's style with perfection to fit the scenes of the storyline. Visually elegant and composed well for the equipment and special effects. Some laughable obvious special effects shown, but if you let your imagination go with the story it won't bother you to much. The ending of the movie is different to the original novel, in glorifying Ben as a champion winner. In fact, Ben Richards can't win without dying himself in the games, but he does make sure the entire Running Man company is doomed to destruction.
