Learn More About The Long Walk

The Long Walk adapts Stephen King's 1979 novel, originally published under his Richard Bachman pseudonym, into a punishing survival thriller directed by Francis Lawrence. Cooper Hoffman stars as Raymond Garraty, one of one hundred teenage boys selected for an annual contest that requires them to maintain a walking pace of at least three miles per hour, with elimination meaning something far more permanent than simply going home.

David Jonsson co-stars as Peter McVries, Garraty's closest ally on the walk, while Mark Hamill plays The General, the chilling military figure overseeing the entire brutal contest. Critics have called it the best Stephen King adaptation in years, praising how the film balances genuine camaraderie and emotion against the horror of its premise.
