The Running Man s Ben Richards as he is desperate to find ways to make money after trying and failing at several jobs. It’s set in a bleak future governed by an authoritarian media conglomerate.
To ensure his daughter receives the care and medicine she needs, Richards enters into a popular but deadly TV program, The Running Man, in which he has to avoid being murdered in a nationwide manhunt in hopes of winning the billion-dollar prize.
The cast is also impressive as it includes names such as William H. Macy (Shameless), Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies), Michael Cera (Superbad), Emilia Jones (CODA), Daniel Ezra (All American), Jayme Lawson (Sinners), Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), and Josh Brolin (Avengers and Weapons).

The Running Man has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 63% compared to its predecessor, which has a 59% rating. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t perform well at the box office, much to everyone’s surprise, and grossed around $69 million globally, failing to reach its $110 million budget. However, when released on VOD (video-on-demand), it topped streaming charts and became one of the top-purchased films on a few platforms.
Powell is also known for his roles in Anyone But You, Twisters, Hit Man, and Top Gun: Maverick, establishing himself as a well-rounded action star. He has several upcoming projects, including the second season of Chad Powers, How to Make a Killing, Ghost Writer, The Natural Order, and a couple of unnamed projects with names such as Judd Apatow and Ron Howard.
