THE RUNNING MAN

July 1, 2025

Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches.

The bloodsport of the future is back—and more savage than ever. The Running Man, the cult-classic 80s thriller that helped define dystopian cinema, gets a hard-hitting reboot this fall with a fresh cast, a high-stakes storyline, and a sharper edge that feels ripped straight from today’s reality-TV-obsessed culture.

Premiering only in theatres November 7, the new Running Man stars Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man) as Ben Richards, a desperate father thrust into a televised deathmatch where survival isn’t just entertainment—it’s everything.

Opposite Powell, Josh Brolin takes a dark turn as Dan Killian, the charming yet ruthless producer of the top-rated show on Earth: The Running Man.

Blood, Ratings, and Survival

Set in a near-future society addicted to spectacle, The Running Man is a reality game show turned lethal. Contestants—known as Runners—must survive 30 days on the run while being relentlessly hunted by a cast of professional assassins. The prize? Millions in cash and a shot at freedom. The cost of failure? Instant death, broadcast live to a nation that can’t stop watching.

Richards, a working-class man with a sick daughter and no options, enters the game as a last resort. But his instincts, defiance, and raw grit quickly turn him into an unlikely fan favorite—and a dangerous symbol of rebellion. As the ratings spike, so does the danger. What begins as entertainment becomes an all-out war for survival, with the whole country watching every move.

Bigger. Bolder. Brutal.

Directed by genre heavyweight Edgar Wright (yes, Baby Driver meets Black Mirror vibes), this reboot leans into the cultural commentary of the original, while dialing up the action, suspense, and visual spectacle. Expect high-tech hunters, viral moments, and a brutal critique of media, power, and our hunger for chaos.

The all-star supporting cast is being kept mostly under wraps—but insiders promise a mix of A-list assassins and unexpected cameos that’ll have fans talking long after the credits roll.
