The Running Man (1982) is a science fiction novel by Stephen King, written under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. In 1987, the novel was loosely adapted into a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The story is about a man who competes in a deadly game show. Some critics draw parallels between The Running Man and current reality shows such as Survivor or Fear Factor. The film also shares themes with the film Series 7: The Contenders, itself a parody of Reality TV.
A similar kind of concept of the novel/movie was used for by WMS Gaming for Smash TV and more recently by Insomniac Games for Ratchet: Deadlocked.
Stephen King stated in "Why I Was Bachman" that the entire novel was written in the space of seventy-two hours.

It may be The Running Man by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King).
I believe it was a novella in The Bachman Books.

That stuff was featured in the movie "the Running Man," with Big Ah-nold, I don't recall the name of the book it was based on.

Could be 'Lord of the storm' or 'The skypirate' by Justine Davis.
