From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King‘s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Pts. 1 & 2 , and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go? (R, 1h 48m)
“…a heartfelt metaphorical drama about people bonding under duress. Instead of focusing on the darker side of human nature one might expect from the average dystopian film, it finds power in small acts of connection.” – Michael Ordoña, San Francisco Chronicle
“Stephen King has been adapted a lot, but this is the leanest, meanest adaptation of his work in a long time.” – Rebecca Onion, Slate
“Bleak, unflinching, and unexpectedly moving, The Long Walk is both a faithful King adaptation and one of the most harrowing cinematic experiences in years. Not for the faint of heart — but easily one of the best films of 2025 so far. – Linda Marric, HeyUGuys
