Premise: The Long Walk is an upcoming American dystopian thriller film co-produced and directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2, and Red Sparrow) and written by JT Mollner. It is based on the 1979 novel by Stephen King (under the pseudonym Richard Bachman). In a dystopian United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, a group of young men enter an annual walking contest where they must walk at three miles per hour non-stop or be executed until only one of them is left alive.
