From the visionary director of The Hunger Games sequels and its spin-off The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes, comes the highly-anticipated adaptation of Stephen King's very-first horror story. In the near future, where America is a police state, one hundred boys are selected to enter an annual contest where the winner will be awarded whatever he wants for the rest of his life. The game is simple: maintain a steady walking pace of three miles per hour without stopping. Three warnings, and you're out... permanently. Cooper Hoffman's Ray, David Jonsson's Pete, Ben Wang's Hank, Garrett Wareing's Stebbins, and Charlie Plummer's Gary are among the contestants, pushing themselves to the edge with no finish line in sight. Under the merciless watch of Mark Hamill's Major, they have only one choice: walk, or die.
