I really enjoyed this movie, it made me laugh and cry and Empathetic.
Set in an alternate, militaristic version of America, “The Long Walk” is a brutal and suspenseful story about a deadly competition involving 100 teenage boys.
🚶♂️ The Competition:
• 100 boys are selected to participate in The Long Walk, a national event.
• They must keep walking continuously at a speed of at least 4 miles per hour.
• If a walker slows down, stops, or breaks the rules, he gets a warning.
• After three warnings, the boy is shot and killed by armed soldiers (called “The Squads”).
🏆 The Prize:
• The last boy remaining alive wins “The Prize”—anything he wants for the rest of his life.
👤 Main Character:
• The story follows Ray Garraty, a 16-year-old from Maine, who joins the walk and forms tense relationships with the other boys as they struggle with exhaustion, pain, and fear.
