Night of the Running Man is a 1995 American crime thriller film directed by Mark L. Lester and written by Lee Wells, who adapted it from his novel of the same name.

Jerry Logan, a cab driver in Las Vegas, picks up a nervous passenger who offers him $100 to get to the airport as quickly as possible.

Knowing that Gurino will kill him if he notices the missing money, Chambers sends assassins to recover it.

In Salt Lake City, Eckhart captures but loses Logan at the airport as he boards a flight for Los Angeles.

Eckhart contacts his associate, Derek Mills, who pays off all the cab drivers at the Los Angeles airport.

Mills kidnaps him at gunpoint and, at his house, burns Logan's feet in boiling water to make escape impossible.

Eckhart accepts the deal and leaves for Las Vegas, where he kills Chambers and his wife on the orders of Gurino.

[3] J. R. Taylor of Entertainment Weekly rated it a letter grade of "B" and called it "a move into Tarantino territory" for director Lester.
