The Running Man

Audiences primarily experience high **Anticipation** and **Excitement** as Ben Richards navigates the deadly game show, constantly facing new threats and challenges. **Anxiety** is palpable due to the life-or-death stakes and the oppressive dystopian setting. Strong feelings of **Anger** arise from the government's injustice, the framing of Richards, and the sadistic nature of Damon Killian and the show's gladiators. **Empathy** is felt for Richards and the other contestants fighting for survival, leading to significant **Satisfaction** when justice is served and the villains are defeated. The film also provides moments of **Humor** through Schwarzenegger's characteristic one-liners.
