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.

The newly released trailer for The Running Man, a reimagining of the 1987 sci-fi thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, gives audiences a visceral glimpse into a world where entertainment, violence, and desperation converge in the most unsettling way possible. Set to hit theaters on November 14, this modern retelling takes Stephen King 's original story (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) and amplifies it for a society already consumed by spectacle and social media obsession.

The trailer gives viewers a taste of what's to come, and it's clear this isn't just a nostalgic remake-it's a full-scale reset.
