In a dystopia where market capitalism and television game shows have spiraled out of control, Ben Richards enters himself in the last-chance money-making scheme of the Free-Vee games. Success means a life of luxury, and failure means death. Unfortunately, in the last six years no one has survived the game.

This is one of the cases where the movie is better than the book. I have read another book King wrote as Bachman, The Long Walk, and the memory of it still stays with me even after 30 years. The Running Man did not manage to impress me as much. Maybe I am less impressionable now, but also because the book is not nearly as good. I felt the writing was abusing adjectives and the whole portrayal of the world of 2025 aged liked milk.

Instead of reading this short book, just re-watch the movie with Arnold. Much more entertaining.
