The Long Walk is an adaptation of writer Stephen King’s first novel. The emotional thriller is directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hung Games: Catching Fire, The Hung Games: Mockingjay, The Hung Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) and challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?

The film centers on a group of teenage boys that compete in an annual contest known as “The Long Walk,” where they must maintain a certain walking speed or get shot.
