First up is The Running Man, in the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is "The Running Man" -- a game show in which prisoners must fight against video game bosses to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government after refusing to kill unarmed protestors, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.

Next up is Total Recall, Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a man who has become disenchanted with his steady job and waking up next to Sharon Stone in the year 2084 who dreams of visiting the colonized Mars. He visits "Rekall," a company that plants false memories into people's brains, in order to experience the thrill of Mars without having to travel there. But something goes wrong during the procedure; Quaid discovers that his entire life is actually a false memory and that the people who implanted it in his head now want him dead.
