This Weeks Movie is the Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic The Running Man, which has been chosen by our yearly member Angela, learn who wrote the original book, and the many modern events and technologies that The Running Man predicted, then stick around for the most Arnie one-liners in any film to date, presented in full 4K High Definition.

synopsis; In the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is "The Running Man" -- a game show in which prisoners must run to freedom to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.

selected review; 

The Running Man blasts onto screens as a 5-star action extravaganza! Arnold Schwarzenegger dominates as Ben Richards, a wrongly convicted man forced into a deadly game show. This sci-fi actioner is pure 80s gold, packed with quotable lines ("I have bad memories of milk!") and explosive stunts. Get ready for killer humor, cheesy one-liners, and battles against iconic gladiators like Subzero and Fireball.
