The game is back on. Paramount has dropped the first trailer for The Running Man, the high-octane reimagining of the 1987 cult classic—this time led by Hollywood’s breakout action star, Glen Powell.
In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward.
Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming, but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the 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.
Supporting cast members reportedly include Keke Palmer, Pedro Pascal, and Daniel Kaluuya.
Check out this first look behind the scenes.
