01
02
Battle Royale
Why this pick
Its forced death-game premise, shifting alliances and escalating paranoia match The Tournament’s enjoyment of combatants being pushed into a brutal, tightly controlled contest.
03
Hard Target
Why this pick
For the same lean, muscular B-action energy, it pits a capable outsider against wealthy hunters and builds toward exuberant urban chases and gunfights.
04
The Running Man
Why this pick
It shares the corrupt-media spectacle and powerful elites treating human pursuit as entertainment, but with a colourful 1980s action-thriller swagger.
05
Death Race
Why this pick
Another grimy, high-concept arena of institutionalised violence, with prisoners forced to perform for viewers and a similarly propulsive, hard-edged action style.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A group of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men, who are themselves tied into law enforcement agencies and criminal underworlds alike, and who also control the international media with their billions, have devised the ultimate entertainment for themselves, simply referred to as "The Tournament", which takes place at intervals of every seven or ten years in an unspecified location, usually a large city.
