Official synopsis: In a near-future society, "The Running Man" is the highest-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as "Runners," must survive for 30 days while being hunted by professional killers. With their every move broadcast live to a bloodthirsty public, the prize money grows daily. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards is convinced by the show's charismatic and ruthless producer, Dan Killian, to join the game. But Ben's defiance, instincts, and courage unexpectedly win him a massive fanbase, turning him into a threat to the entire system. As the ratings soar, so does the danger, forcing Ben to outrun not only the killers but a nation obsessed with watching him fall.
