2019. Alle communicatie wordt beheerst door de overheid. Een politieagent wordt onterecht opgepakt wegens het neerschieten van honderden onschuldige mensen. Hij ontsnapt, maar wordt aangegeven. Als straf moet hij meedoen met 'The Running Man'. Dat is het meest populaire en sadistische televisiespel van die tijd.
Nee, helaas is The Running Man nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
