Glen Powell plays Ben Richards, a go right married father who goes on a reality tv show to save his daughter's life and provide for his family...based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
Set in the near future, Ben hops job to job trying to provide from his family only caveat his firings aren't his fault. From being a whistleblower to not working unsafe conditions, no one wants to keep him on staff. When he sees the advertisement to win $1b by surviving 30 days on the tv show THE RUNNING MAN, he hesitates at first but takes the chance.
The Running Man is a reality tv real-time survival show where the contestant travels the world while having a target on their back. If they can live past 30 days they win the grand prize, but every day they are alike they get bonus points...even more bonus points if they kill the Hunters from the show hired to track them down.
It's actually a very good movie. 4/5 stars. And now I have to watch the original 1987 version with Arnold Schwarzenegger!
