"The Most Dangerous Game Versus High Noon" Imagine being hunted down with no where to run or hide. Or how about meeting an enemy from your past once again. You try to run, but you realize there is only one thing you can do, fight. And, try your best to survive till the next day. Both the movie High Noon and the short story The Most Dangerous Game have these things in common but they have many differences too. They both are about a man almost being killed by psycho killers.
