10 Dystopian Battle To The Death Movies Like Stephen King’s The Running Man

Stephen King’s The Running Man is a prime example of a dystopian thriller about characters being forced to battle to the death, and there are many other exciting movies of its ilk. King wrote the novel under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, which he adopted to make sure his early literary success wasn’t a fluke. Like every other King story with a juicy high-concept premise (Carrie, The Shining, Misery, The Dead Zone, It, Pet Sematary, The Mist), The Running Man has been turned into a classic movie, released in 1987. It’s one of the most renowned works in the fight-to-the-death genre.
