Synopsis

Run for the Sun is a 1956 film released by United Artists, the third film to officially be based on Richard Connell's classic suspense story, "The Most Dangerous Game", after RKO's The Most Dangerous Game (1932), which starred Joel McCrea and Fay Wray, and their (1945) remake, A Game of Death, which was directed by Robert Wise. This version stars Trevor Howard as the hunter and Richard Widmark as the prey, and was directed by Ray Boulting from a script written by Boulting and Dudley Nichols.

Browne (Trevor Howard) is the wealthy reclusive man who enjoys hunting down human beings like wild game. In this adaptation, Browne is transformed into a British traitor, hiding in the Mexican jungle with his fellow Nazi war criminal and brother-in-law, Colonel Von Andre (Peter van Eyck). When their plane is forced to land in Browne's domain, writer Mike Latimer (Richard Widmark) and reporter Katy Conners (Jane Greer) are welcomed as guests. However, when Latimer finally recognizes his host, Browne offers the pair an hour's head-start, before unleashing his hunting dogs. (from wikipedia.org)
