What is The Running Man about?
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.

The Running Man (2025) Reviews: What Critics Said
Critics were split on The Running Man: many enjoyed Glen Powell and the kinetic action in Edgar Wright's Stephen King adaptation, while others found it overlong, blunt in its satire and short on Wright's usual wit.
Critics were divided: The Running Man offers a committed Glen Powell and lively action, but several found it overlong and less distinctive than Edgar Wright's best work. This is a roundup of published reviews; Celluloid has not rated it.
