Okay this movie is far from perfect. However, on a rainy day, or lazy weekend afternoon the movie is highly enjoyable.
Like a lot of movies it starts out great but gets a little silly towards the end.
What makes this movie is Tom Selleck. He is a very under-appreciated actor, who always seems to breathe life into the dullest of movies. Here he takes what could of been a much sillier movie and brings a lot of believability to his role and to the story. Even if it is about robots going nuts.
Michael Crichton directed this one, strange that he didn't write it as a book first, cause it is a great story. A little ahead of it's time which might explain it's poor performance with the critics and at the box office.
Definitely worth checking out. Great Jerry Goldsmith score.

Like quite a few of these 'forgotten' films of the 80s and 90s, I read about this before actually seeing it. Having an interest in Kiss, I wanted to see if Gene Simmons could act. As bad guy Luther, he does pretty well, but there's nothing particularly remarkable about his performance.
The other performances are okay. Tom Selleck and Kirstie Alley are rather good in their roles. POLICE ACADEMY's G.W. Bailey has a straight role as the Chief of Police (the typical by-the-book type who always chews the hero out). The storyline is very good. As it's written by Michael Crichton, it's another tale of technology gone bad, although this time, it was a deliberate human act which caused the mayhem. The film book I read about RUNAWAY in said basically that between WESTWORLD and JURASSIC PARK, two of the best known sci-fi films ever, Crichton made this film. This is true, but while WW and JP are remebered, this film is largely forgotten.
Granted, this film is hardly a classic, but in my opinion, there are times when you go 'who cares' and just sit down to a good, entertaining picture. I recommend RUNAWAY for a viewing. Although, this movie, and some episodes of STARGATE SG-1 seem to confirm that some people find tacky-looking mechanical spiders scary. Which I don't.

A robotics division of the police force was created to deal with "runaways." Those would be robots that have gone haywire and need to be fixed or shutdown. Why that would fall under the police's jurisdiction is beyond me. I would think that the Geek Squad would be more suited for that job.
At any rate, when a mysterious computer chip is found in a runaway and a man is killed by a bullet that acted more like a guided missile, Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) uncovers a sinister plot.
This movie is not too far from reality. I don't ever see the police force getting a robotics division but check out what was in the movie that is now normal: floater cameras (known as drones today), robots doing all kinds of jobs, smart devices, and chipped bullets (OK, that's not normal but I could see that happening).
Like so many movies about technology and computers, this was about such things getting into the wrong hands.

I remember watching this movie on a Saturday night. I love Tom selleck in magnum and I remember wanting to watch this as I've never seen Tom star in a movie before. Plus I was a bit of a sci-fi nut. I absolutely love it. Robot spiders, gene Simmons from kiss and bullets that follow you around corners. What more can a young boy ask for.
Gene Simmons just looks creepy, and I wish he'd play more villain roles. That being said, this movie was ok. Considering it's 1984, they predicted drones, roomba and self driving cars! A low budget but entertaining enough.

- WissenswertesThe on-camera relationship between Charles Luther (Gene Simmons) and Jack Ramsay (Tom Selleck) is one of intense emotion. "While we're playing a scene I hate his guts", Simmons said of Selleck and added, "I really want to kill him. It's funny, when doing this stuff it all wells up. I can't concentrate on giving somebody a certain look for an extended period of time without my temperature rising and my emotions starting to boil. Sometimes I would make up stuff about Tom, little things that would irritate me. And afterwards, I would go up to Tom and say, 'Look, I don't know if I was too . . . and he'd interrupt and say, 'NO, no. Don't explain anything. You're doing great'."
- PatzerOfficer Thompson has a scene wherein she describes Luther to an officer, who creates a computerized image of him using a handheld device. Why bother when they already have his image recorded on the Johnson's door monitor?
