This episode on Tech Film Noir, we watched The Running Man (1987), the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action classic that imagined a future where reality television, media manipulation, corporate power, and public spectacle collide. Nearly four decades later, its vision of entertainment-driven society feels less like science fiction and more like an uncomfortable reflection of the modern world.

Join Lianne Potter, Simon Painter, and Jeff Watkins as they explore how The Running Man predicted many of today's biggest debates, from algorithm-driven entertainment and manufactured public opinion to surveillance, misinformation, and the commercialisation of violence. Inspired by Stephen King's novel, the film asks what happens when truth becomes secondary to ratings and audiences stop questioning the stories they're being sold.

Expect gladiatorial game shows, propaganda masquerading as entertainment, AI-worthy media manipulation, corporate dystopias, delightfully excessive one-liners, and a discussion about why one of the greatest 1980s action films may also be one of its most surprisingly prescient..

When movies guess the future, we check their work.
