The Running Man was published in 1982 and set in 2025. Written by Stephen King under his Richard Bachman pseudonym, it was long overshadowed by the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that is very loosely based on it. In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles, and America has become a totalitarian dystopia. Before the Hunger Games or Squid Game, this is one of those games, as Ben Richards competes in a deadly televised game show trying to feed his starving family.
