'''''Le Prix du Danger''''' is a 1983 [[France|French]]-[[Serbia]]n [[science fiction]] movie, directed by [[Yves Boisset]]. It was based on [[Robert Sheckley]]'s ''[[The Prize of Peril]]'', published in [[1958]]. |
|||
==Story== |
|||
There is a [[game shows|game on TV]]. The most popular one. In this game, every day men or women, [[volunteer]]s, are being hunted down and killed by professional killers. If they survive they will get an enormous cash prize. But no one has managed to survive... so far. |
|||
Our hero, a family man, needs the money, so he takes part in the game. |
|||
He proves out to be very good, but things are not what they seem... |
|||
Without giving away the story, it also can be said, that the role of two women is [[catalytic]] in the way things evolve. |

|||
The film was not a big production. <br> |
|||
There are no [[splatter]] scenes or any excess in [[violence]]. <br> |
|||
The thrilling aspect is in the story, which is unpredictable, and in the hero's fight for survival. <br> |
|||
The director, in the background, also tries to show what he thinks is the role of television, and this kind of games in particular, over the control of the people. He also comments on the structure of the society, and the reality that the people of the lower levels have to face. <br> |
|||
The movie can be considered as [[prophetic]] of the [[Big Brother (TV series)|Big Brother]] and [[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]] type of [[game shows]]. <br> |
