In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on TV: a brutal thirty-day competition where contestants known as Runners are hunted by pro assassins for a cash prize, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public. Desperate to save his sick daughter, Glen Powell's Ben Richards enters the game. As ratings soar, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit the Hunters and a nation hungry to watch him fall.
