The Running Man — a science-fiction dystopia directed by Edgar Wright and adapted from Stephen King’s novel of the same name — will arrive on streaming platforms on December 16. This accelerated digital rollout follows disappointing box office returns worldwide. The film’s production budget was reportedly $110 million.
Set in a dystopian United States in 2025, the story follows Ben Richards (Glen Powell), who enters a brutal survival-style reality show to raise money for a lifesaving operation for his dying daughter.
The cast also includes Michael Cera, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Katy O’Brien and others.
