Plot
By 2017, following a worldwide economic collapse and resource scarcity, the United States has become a totalitarian police state. The government maintains control through propaganda, censoring unsanctioned art, music, and communications. The most popular TV show, The Running Man, is a state-controlled game show where incarcerated criminals can earn their freedom by surviving as "runners" against lethal "stalkers".

Captain Ben Richards is arrested after refusing orders to open fire on an unarmed food riot in Bakersfield, California. His fellow officers massacre the rioters, and Richards is framed for the incident, being dubbed the "Butcher of Bakersfield". 18 months later, Richards escapes from a prison labor camp with resistance fighters Harold Weiss and William Laughlin. Although they offer him a chance to join the resistance, Richards is only interested in survival. He travels to his brother's apartment, only to find that Amber Mendez, a composer for the state broadcaster ICS, now lives there, as his brother was taken for "re-education". Richards forces Amber to help him bypass airport security but, believing him to be the "Butcher", she alerts the authorities. After his arrest, Amber sees news coverage falsely claiming that Richards killed several people during the incident and begins to doubt his guilt.
