Le Prix du Danger (The Prize of Peril) is a 1983 French-Yugoslav science fiction movie, directed by Yves Boisset. It is based on Robert Sheckley's short story "The Prize of Peril", published in 1958.
Plot
In the near future, a popular TV show hosted by the charismatic Frédéric Mallaire (Michel Piccoli) features candidates hunted by volunteer killers who must run for their lives. In order to win the million dollar prize, François Jacquemard (Gérard Lanvin) volunteers to be the running man in the upcoming edition of the show. As the chase begins, François discovers that the show is rigged and that the ruthless broadcasting company CTV (led by cynical CEO Antoine Chirex (Bruno Cremer) and right-hand woman Laurence Ballard (Marie-France Pisier)) are actually helping candidates only to let them die at the very end of the show, therefore ensuring maximal audience throughout.
