About this Event
The Running Man (1987)
Join MovieJawn at Parkway Central Library for a presentation of 1987's The Running Man in celebration of the new remake of the film from Edgar Wright opening later this month.
Description courtesy of Letterboxd: A game nobody survives.
By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and U.S. 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.
Directed by Paul Michael Glaser
Written by Steven E. de Souza
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Dawson, and María Conchita
Doors: 5:30pm
Showtime: 6pm with Q&A afterwards
