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.
