[Movie] The Running Man
(lemmy.zip)
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

I would lean a little more dystopian. I think it’s missing some of the cooler aspects of cyberpunk.
Thank you, that makes me feel better about questioning it myself. It has a lot of things that could definitely be considered cyberpunk but other things that really don't fit.
