5 Years Before 'The Long Walk,' Charlie Plummer Starred in This Explosively Topical Horror Comedy

Following a stacked summer of hotly anticipated film releases, The Long Walkis one of this month's most exciting new movies, and the hype is due in no small part to just some of the major names behind the project. Adapted from one of Stephen King's novels written under his Richard Bachman pseudonym and teasing yet another memorable Mark Hamill role involving neither lightsabers nor sadistic laughter, the film also features a stacked cast of young up-and-comers. Set in a harrowing future where teenage boys compete for a cash prize at the end of a walking marathon, where the punishment for slowing down is death, the film promises to explore the dark intersection between adolescent horror and social dystopia, which is oddly familiar territory for fans of one of the would-be walkers, Charlie Plummer.
