Dangerous Game is a 1987 Australian slasher film directed by Stephen Hopkins.
Jack Hayward (Marcus Graham) is a computer hacker who breaks into a department store at night with his friends for thrills, but are then locked in by a former cop turned security guard named Patrick Murphy (Steven Grives), who had been suspended from his previous job by Jack and his friends. This cat-and-mouse game becomes a fight for survival when Tony (John Polson) is murdered by Murphy and his friends are next.
The set built by Igor Nay was one of the largest ever built for an Australian film.
Dangerous Game has no approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes but currently holds a 20% Audience Score.
According to Stephen Hopkins the film sold well at Cannes because "at that time it was quite cool to be Australian'."
