The Running Man (2025)

Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is a construction labourer blacklisted after numerous incidents of insufficient obedience and a tendency towards union activity. It's the not too distant future and the worst imagined predations of corporate regulatory capture and unbridled power have created a two tier society even more divided than today.

His wife is lucky to have work as a hostess in a bar but when their daughter gets sick they simply can't afford the medicine she needs.

After he pleads for his old job back and fails he resolves to audition for one of the many exploitative reality game shows that pass for entertainment. Not "The Running Man" though: that would be simply suicidal.

No good will come of this.
