"The Running Man (2025)" - Nov 16th

[newsl...@sundaynightfilmclub.com]

Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Nov 16th at 4:00pm for The Running Man (2025) at the Somerville Theatre. Look for Howard in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. After the film we will descend on a local restaurant for discussion over dinner and/or drinks.

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 (Glen 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.
