Paramount Home Media Distribution will release a standard Blu-ray release of the recent 4K restoration of Paul Michael Glaser's
The Running Man (1987), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, and Jesse Ventura. The release will be available for purchase on March 7.
Description: 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 hottest-rated reality competition series, where condemned criminals are given a chance for freedom by running through a gauntlet of heavily armed killers known as "Stalkers." When an ex-cop (Schwarzenegger) is wrongly convicted of a violent crime, he finds himself on the series in the company of other prisoner "contestants." Based on the story by Stephen King (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman).
