The Most Dangerous Game is about a big-game hunter from New York City who falls from a yacht and swims to what seems to be an abandoned and isolated island in the Caribbean, where he is hunted by a Russian aristocrat. Filmed numerous times, it has been called the "most popular short story ever written in English." Upon its publication, it won the O. Henry Award.
