Stephen King’s 2025 Sci-Fi Action Remake Just Joined Prime Video

Stephen King’s 1982 novel, The Running Man, has been made into a movie twice. The original film, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, came out in 1987. Now, a new version directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glen Powell as Ben Richard, premiered on Prime Video on April 17th. This updated take is set in a bleak future where a man struggling with poverty and constant media oversight enters a dangerous, government-approved TV show to afford medical care for his ill daughter. He must stay alive and avoid capture by skilled hunters for a full month to win the prize money.
