In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show
on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as
Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional
assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and
each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his
sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is
convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan
Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s
defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan
favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket,
so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but
a nation addicted to watching him fall.
