In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television where contestants known as Runners must survive thirty days while being relentlessly hunted by professional assassins. Every move is broadcast to a bloodthirsty public, and each day brings a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, Glen Powell's Ben Richards is convinced by the show's charming but ruthless producer to enter the game. Against all the odds, Ben's spirit makes him an unexpected fan favourite - and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger. Now, Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but an entire nation that's addicted to watching him fall.
