	'''''Runaway''''' is a 1984 science fiction thriller written and directed by [[Michael Crichton]] (the author of ''[[Jurassic Park]]''). Set in the near future where robots are a part of everyday life, [[Tom Selleck]] stars as a Detroit police sergeant who is part of a special unit that handles robots that go against their programming and threaten the population. The film, which also stars [[Gene Simmons]] and Kirstie Alley, was a box office disappointment, but is notable for its predictions of how a police department would operate in the future.

The gun has the characteristic Detonics forward mounted rear sight, which was featured on the [[Detonics CombatMaster\|CombatMaster]], but the longer grip frame of a [[Detonics ScoreMaster\|ScoreMaster]]. It should also be noted that there is a line present on the slide where a combat master slide would end, the same gun can be seen in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]'' used by [[Linda Hamilton]]. At the time the film was released, it was somewhat unusual to see uniformed law enforcement carry automatic pistols instead of the commonplace service revolver.
