Terror-Fi 25: The Running Man R16

OPENING NIGHT I don't think we could be more excited to be one of the first in the world to see master filmmaker Edgar Wright bring us his take on THE RUNNING MAN. If his previous work is anything to go by, we are in for a wildly entertaining ride. A must see in the cinema! 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 is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian, 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.
