Ready, Set… Run.

What if your survival was entertainment? What if your life was a ratings game? Edgar Wright’s The Running Man isn’t just a movie—it’s a blood-pumping, genre-bending ride into the future of reality TV taken to the extreme.

The brand-new trailer just dropped, and it’s everything fans of suspense, action, and dark satire could hope for. With Glen Powell leading the charge and Wright’s signature style pulsing through every frame, The Running Man is shaping up to be the must-watch thrill ride of the year.

Philippine cinemas, brace yourselves: the game begins November 12.

The Plot: Survive or Be Silenced

In a dystopian near-future, The Running Man is the highest-rated show on television. But this isn’t just a competition—it’s a televised deathmatch. Contestants, known as Runners, have 30 days to survive while being hunted by professional killers. Every moment is broadcast live, feeding a nation obsessed with bloodlust and spectacle.

Enter Ben Richards (Glen Powell), a desperate father pushed to the edge. His daughter is sick, and the medical bills are mounting. With no options left, Ben signs up for the game.

The show’s slick but cutthroat producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), promises riches… if he lives. But Ben’s unshakable will to survive, his sharp instincts, and quiet rebellion make him an unexpected crowd favorite. The more the nation roots for him, the more dangerous the game becomes—for him and the system that depends on people like him losing.
