This movie takes place a few years from now.   Release before reality TV, and leading to what is probably the logical end of reality TV.  How much longer until we watch people get killed on TV?

New show, "Baltimore on the run!". Kind of a looser elimination game.

This, but even if remade, they would never allow the book's ending to be made on film.

Never.  We (as a society) have gotten away from execution as a public spectacle.  Horse thieves used to be hung on Sunday so everyone would already be dressed-up and in-town.

Short version.



He's being taken back to the studio on an airliner, and takes control and crashes it into the skyscraper housing the "Games Network"

If you e got Netflix check out the black mirror episode "fifteen million credits". It's kinda the same vein ie. Reality TV gone too far.

IIRC (I read it in junior high), he steals a plane and crashes it into the TV studio, which is in a skyscraper.

As were all the Bachman Books. SK at his finest, IMO.
The Long Walk was an amazing story, that everyone should read.

I thought Series 7: The Contenders was a better send-up of reality TV.

I liked it. There was something about the girl that showed Bing the vending machine trick. Not conventionally attractive, but I thought she was really cute.

+1, All the Bkack Mirror episodes were pretty good.  White Bear episode was similar, but instead of TV show it was more of s theme park type experience.

And we wonder why we have the crime today!  
Punishment must be quick, public and brutal for it to be effective.
