Synopsis
Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards is convinced by The Running Man’s charming but ruthless producer to enter the deadly competition 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.
Our Review Editorial
A working-class father with a sick daughter to save signs up for the deadliest game on television, where every minute he stays alive sweetens the payout. Edgar Wright's adaptation drops Glen Powell into a brutal spectacle hunted by assassins and undercut by showrunners betting against him, all while the cameras roll. With Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin sharpening the menace, this action thriller laces its chase with biting satire about entertainment, desperation and the price of survival.
Kinetic and sardonic, it pairs relentless momentum with a streak of dark comedy that keeps the dread from ever feeling airless. Fans of high-concept action and stories that skewer media spectacle will be right at home, as will anyone craving a propulsive thriller with something on its mind. Expect breakneck pacing, sharp wit and a hero with everything to lose.
