Product Information

Die USA im Jahr 2017. Die Weltwirtschaft ist zusammengebrochen. Ein Polizeistaat, aufgeteilt in militärische Zonen, beherrscht das Land ("Jeder der ohne gültigen Pass nach Mitternacht angetroffen wird, wird lebenslänglich eingesperrt!"). Nahrungsmittel, Rohstoffe und Öl sind knapp und das totalitäre Regime zensiert Kunst, Musik und Kommunikation. Mit der populären Gameshow RUNNING MAN ("Eine Sendung der ICS in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Justizministerium.") soll die Bevölkerung bei Laune gehalten werden. In der sadistischen Sendung werden verurteilte Kriminelle von professionellen Menschenjägern durch eine tödliche Arena gehetzt. Wem die Flucht aus dem Jagdgebiet gelingt, dem winken Freiheit und Luxus. Auch der (unschuldig) verurteilte Polizist Ben Richards ("Richards, ein ehemaliger Polizei-Offizier, war der Hubschrauberpilot, der vor 18 Monaten Amok lief und ohne Warnung in eine hungernde Menschenmenge schoss!") wird zur Teilnahme an der grausamen Show gezwungen, die bisher noch kein Kandidat überlebt hat... company of other prisoner "contestants." Based on the story by Stephen King (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman), The Running Man Kurt Fuller (Coroner Woody Strode in 33 Folgen Psych, mit Arnie in Red Heat) als Aufnahmeleiter Tony ("Rohmaterial einspielen! Frier es in den digitalen Speicher und aktiviere Travelling Matte!", "Das war's. Zerlege alle Masken und gib die digitalen Matrizen in die Memory-Speicher ein."), This UHD release of The Running Man contains none of the supplements from the original Lionsgate Blu-ray, which included a pair of In making this point, Running Man doesn’t try to hide the absurdity. The result is a culturally relevant campy icon, whose villains dress in Christmas lights, and a crowd eagerly awaits a slaughter. The show itself doesn’t make much sense – what happens if the runner is killed in the first stage during a three hour broadcast? No one cares though, certainly not viewers who treat death with such casualness, they happily celebrate their wins at the gambling tables, dead people be damned. It’s hilariously craven behavior, forever captured on film.

true, here with impressively deep and ripping gunfire bursts. Additional action elements follow suit, with prominent and sometimes prodigious depth starts near the one-minute mark. The UHD's Dolby Vision grading makes this element brilliant.

Verdient Euch doppelte Prämien, wenn Ihr ein Familienmitglied anzeigt!" A wonderful irony came with time. Schwarzenegger turns around to shout, “I’m not into politics,” which of course he was decades later. Running Man tells a story about someone who thinks political power doesn’t affect them, but it does. That indifference nearly gets him killed. And, the entire world consumes itself because no one pays attention; they’re not into politics either, rather they just watching distractions like this show.

Official synopsis: Set in a dystopic 2017 Los Angeles—now a police state in the wake of the global economy's total collapse. "The Running Man" is The Running Man' is a mid-tier Schwarzenegger effort. It's nowhere near the classic that ' The Terminator' or even ' Predator' (released the same year) have become. Arnold's acting is particularly weak in this one. His co-star Maria Conchita Alonso (later of ' Predator 2') looks great in her spandex costume, but the character is an annoying shrew. The script is filled with plot holes and half-thought-out ideas. Its satirical elements (once arrested, Ben is assigned a court-appointed theatrical agent) are very broad and over-the-top. The Running Man is a 1987 American dystopian action film directed by Paul Michael Glaser and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, María Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, and Jesse Ventura.

Wenn Ihnen Filme wie HARTE ZIELE (1993, mit Jean-Claude van Damme) oder GAMER (2009, mit Gerard Butler) gefallen haben oder ganz allgemein Filme mit Schwarzenegger, könnte Ihnen dieser Film eventuell auch gefallen. An active, wide soundstage gives a modern spark to this ’80s era audio. Sound effects flood the rears, ambient effects natural whether a helicopter, a steel mill, or the game show crowd. Channel separation comes across as entirely natural, and the score jumps through every speaker. The sled sequence(s) is especially awesome.
