In high school, Yamato, Eijiro, Ken, Riku, Yugo and Joji were all members of the track and field team. They were close friends who wore matching bracelets. After high school, though, they went their separate ways. That is until they are all invited to join the " Runaway" group - whose goal is to participate in "On the Run - Mission in Tokyo", where if they manage to outrun everyone, they win 100 million yen! The six men reunite, managing to reignite their friendship... However, this game is not at all like the TV show. Kronos, the managing company for this version has been taken over by a new game master with hunters that are going out of control! When contestants are captured, they are covered in a shadow and disappear. This game is no longer just for fun but a potential death game with 10 billion yen now on the line! Just who will survive and at what cost...?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
