Aside from its title, character names, and core premise, Tri-Star’s 1987 adaptation of The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very different kind of story: a big, bombastic send-up of ‘80s pop culture punctuated by appearances from professional wrestlers and jokes about Schwarzenegger being the world’s biggest action star.

Paramount Skydance’s new spin on The Running Man from Edgar Wright splits the difference between the ‘80s …
