Where To Watch The Running Man Online

Paramount Picture’s 2025 action-adventure The Running Man, starring Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Devotion), is now streaming online on Paramount+. The movie is the all-new, big-screen adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel of the same name.

Classic-movie fans will recall King’s tale was previously told in a 1987 film, also titled The Running Man, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then as now, the 2025 film is set in a dystopian future where a top-rated game show tasks desperate contestants with trying to survive for 30 days while being hunted by assassins. The Powell-led The Running Man is directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver).
