In a brutal near-future where entertainment and violence collide, the deadliest game show on television has only one rule: survive.
The Running Man, based on the novel by Stephen King, sees working-class father Ben Richards (Glen Powell) forced into a televised death match where “Runners” have 30 days to stay alive while elite assassins hunt them down — all broadcast to a public hungry for bloodsport.
When Ben enters the game to save his sick daughter, he becomes an unexpected symbol of rebellion. As his instincts and defiance turn him into a fan favorite, he threatens not just the contestants hunting him — but the system itself. With every day, the stakes rise, the nation watches, and the chase becomes more personal than ever.
Directed by Edgar Wright, this high-octane, satirical thriller reimagines the cult classic with sharp social commentary, explosions, and a high-adrenaline edge.
