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.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive spectacle of brutality and manipulation where a desperate father's fight for his daughter becomes a weapon against the state. Ben Richards transforms from prey into a symbol of resistance, turning a rigged game into a battle for something far larger than his own survival.
