After releasing in theaters last month, Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) The Running Man heads home to Digital this week.
The Running Man arrives on Digital on December 16 with over two ours of bonus content.
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 is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer 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.
Glen Powell stars with William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin.
Wright co-wrote the script with Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street), based on the 1982 novel by Stephen King.
