The odds are not in Ben’s favor in the final trailer for *The Running Man*, which will be released in theaters this Friday.
Another Stephen King adaptation is making its way to the big screen this weekend, and it’s shaping up to be a major release—if the footage and cast are anything to go by. The November box office is already off to a fascinating start with *Predator: Badlands* performing strongly at this point, making it anyone’s game. And for this movie, the game is quite literal.
The final trailer for *The Running Man* has been released, and it really leans into both the game aspect of the story and the fact that it’s an impossible game. Not only has no one ever won, but the game is designed so that no one ever will. However, this time the stakes are different: instead of one man battling the world alone, there are allies, and that might just be what helps Ben Richards (Glen Powell) beat those impossible odds.
### The Running Man: Summary, Cast List, and Release Date
Set in a near-future society, *The Running Man* is the top-rated TV show—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Every move is broadcast to a bloodthirsty public, and each day survived brings 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 quickly turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system.
As the ratings skyrocket, so does the danger. Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but an entire nation addicted to watching him fall.
### Cast and Crew
*The Running Man* is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin.
### Release Date
