"By 2017, the global economy has collapsed and U.S. society has become a totalitarian police state, censoring all cultural activity. The government pacifies the populace by broadcasting a number of game shows in which convicted criminals fight for their lives, including the gladiator-style The Running Man, hosted by the ruthless Damon Killian, where “runners” attempt to evade “stalkers” and certain death for a chance to be pardoned and set free."

Director: Paul Michael Glaser
Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Dawson, María Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto

The Post-Apocalyptic Cinema Evening meets every two weeks on a Thursday to discuss a post-apocalyptic film that is available on popular streaming services. The film is usually announced 2 or 4 weeks ahead of the meeting.

These meetups are held online, with attendees having seen the film prior to the meeting.
