If you're my age and you like watching stuff blow up real good, you know the definitive Arnold Schwarzenegger movie canon. That canon includes a handful of now-established science-fiction masterpieces ("The Terminator," "Terminator 2," "Total Recall"), but it also accommodates for the small handful of low-fidelity masterpieces that became unforgettable thanks to Arnold's sheer force of personality. Arnold made two such films in the year 1987 alone.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in The Running Man faces a totalitarian regime by competing in a deadly television show where the disadvantaged are hunted down, ultimately overthrowing his captors with physical prowess and humor.
