The Long Walk (2025 movie) is about an annual brutal contest in an alternate dystopian America where fifty teenage boys, one from each state, must continuously walk without stopping for hundreds of miles. They must maintain a minimum pace of 3 miles per hour or face warnings, and if they fail to keep pace after three warnings, they are executed by soldiers. The walk is televised and controlled by a totalitarian military regime. The event ends when only one survivor remains, who wins a large cash prize and can have one wish fulfilled. The story follows Ray Garraty and other participants as they endure this grueling, deadly challenge, forming bonds and facing psychological and physical limits, while also confronting the oppressive regime behind the contest. It is a tense, emotional thriller exploring themes of survival, loyalty, and rebellion against control.
