The Long Walk (2025 movie)

Based on a Stephen King masterpiece, this bold and thrilling adaptation has one question that will haunt everyone's minds: HOW FAR CAN YOU WALK?

The Long Walk (2025 movie)

With a screenplay by JT Mollner and directed by Francis Lawrence, The Long Walk is known for its intense, character-driven narrative and stark, relentless premise, much like the namesake novel by Stephen King.

Set in a dystopian future, a hundred people are chosen by the lottery to participate in the annual national event called "The Long Walk" with a twisted rule: walk or die.

This masterpiece, much like the novel itself, takes inspiration from the infamous Bataan Death March of 1942. It powerfully depicts the horror and trauma experienced when individuals are forced by their captors to march thousands of miles, alongside strangers, toward a designated destination. 

This movie may not be recommended by any WWII veterans who have lived through that traumatic experience, nor by the youth who have faced similar situations (as seen with the Bestlink College 2025 Foundation Day). However, it serves as a stark warning for moviegoers who might find themselves in a comparable situation.

HOW FAR CAN YOU WALK? HOW LONG CAN YOU WALK? Watch this movie and find out for yourself.
