The Running Man




Now Playing: The Stephen King Movie Retrospective Series show

Summary: No one was interested in making movies based on the writings of<br> Richard Bachman. His novels Rage, The Long Walk, Roadwork,<br> and The Running Man were modest sellers that often had<br> only one printing. More, they were dark and rough novels King wrote<br> in his early years. That changed in 1985 when Bachman was exposed<br> as a pen name for Stephen King. Just two years later Arnold<br> Schwarzenegger was The Running Man--a very loose<br> adaptation of the '82 Bachman novel. The film is now a cult hit,<br> fondly remembered by Generation X, but is it any good? Listen now<br> to find out!
