While it may fall ever so slightly short of Wright’s sharp, satirical best, The Running Man remains one of the action highlights of 2025, with plenty to say about modern society and the dark hole we risk tumbling down. Much like Squid Game, The Hunger Games, and even The Long Walk, the concept of entertainment-as-control should serve as a stark warning to us all.
