Synopsis

Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards is convinced by The Running Man's charming but ruthless producer to enter the deadly competition game as a last resort.

As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

One of the contestants in the show is a woman and she is attacked to entertain the audience in the movie. The movie frames this as bad.

some rats are on fire at one point but some jump into the water to extinguish themselves, so it’s unclear how they ended up.

SPOILERS:

During a fight scene near the end a character picks a shard of glass out of their eye, it’s not too graphic and after the glass is put there isn’t really any gore they just keep the eye shut. I’d just close your eyes until it’s out and it’s obvious when it is

A character is tortured with thumb screws or something similar and you can hear him screaming. It turns out to be only another character's dream but I still found it triggering.

Happens during a fight mid way through the movie. They say they're going to do it before it happens. It's a very quick shot.

Gameshow tv visuals and on-stage theatrics feature flashing imagery and flashing lights.

Action sequences include a mix of gunfire, sparks and flames/explosions. Brief scene with electrocution trap features intense flashing (as seen at end of trailer).
