From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King's first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Pts. 1 & 2, and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes The Long Walk, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?
Set in a near-future dystopia, one hundred teenage boys are forced to compete in a brutal walking contest where slowing down means death, and only one survivor earns freedom. Starring rising talents Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson, alongside veteran presence Mark Hamill, the film captures the claustrophobic endurance and psychological terror of King’s tale. With its powerful cast and gripping direction, the result comes across as a mix between a buddy movie and a horror movie – a war movie without the war.
