The clip is short—less than a minute long!—but it sets up the fact that Glen Powell’s Ben Richards has a team helping him survive and win the deadly (and televised) competition where assassins across the globe aim to kill him within 30 days. If they fail and he survives, he’ll be awarded a billion dollars. Here’s the full synopsis, which offers the basic premise: 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 (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 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. The rub, of course, is that no one survives because the game is rigged. Powell’s Ben Richards, however, appears to have some help in the form of actors Michael Cera, William H. Macy, and probably others. How their characters will keep Ben alive remains to be seen, though today’s trailer also shows Ben Richards traveling quite a bit during the competition, which suggests that staying on the move may be the best way for him to survive. Maybe? The good news is we’ll get to see how Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Richard Bachman’s (aka Stephen King’s) novel pans out very soon! The Running Man premieres in theaters on November 14, 2025. Check out the final trailer below. [end-mark] The post <i>The Running Man</i> Final Trailer Gives Ben Richards a Team and A Lot of Dynamite appeared first on Reactor.
