Synopsis

The Long Walk: In a near-future America, one hundred teenage boys are selected for an annual walking contest. They must maintain a required pace without stopping. Warnings accumulate for anyone who slows, and repeated violations bring fatal consequences. Ray Garraty forms uneasy friendships with other walkers while exhaustion, fear, and the spectacle surrounding the event strip away their expectations of victory.
