About this listen
"There's one winner and no finish line.” We review The Long Walk (2025), Francis Lawrence’s tense and stripped-back adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel. Set in a totalitarian America, the film follows a brutal contest where a hundred young men must keep walking - or be shot - until only one remains. Starring Cooper Hoffman, David Johnson, Garrett Waring, Charlie Plummer, Roman Griffin-Davis, Judy Greer and Mark Hamill, this is a story about endurance, control, and quiet rebellion.
We explore how Lawrence turns a minimalist concept into a grim and gripping drama - relying not on spectacle, but on character, tension and the terrifying simplicity of the premise. From emotional performances to the film’s stark social commentary, we break down what works, what drags, and why this may be one of the more faithful and unsettling King adaptations in recent years.
