Ahead of Its Glen Powell Remake, Check Out This Stephen King Sci-Fi Thriller That Just Dropped on Netflix

Stephen Kingis considered to be one of Hollywood’s favorite authors, as his work has inspired many classic films and television programs. Although his output has been adapted into prestige projects like The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Life of Chuck, and Stand by Me, the 1987 adaptation ofThe Running Manis easily one of the most enjoyable King films ever. Released right at the apex of Arnold Schwarzenegger’srun as an action star, The Running Man embraced all the absurdities of the source material and perfectly represented a very distinct moment in media culture. Although it's been celebrated as a cult classic in the years since its release, there’s a component of satire regarding corporate evil and media indoctrination that has made The Running Man surprisingly relevant.
