The Long Walk is the latest Stephen King adaptation to hit the big screen, and it's finally arrived. The movie, based on the very first book that King ever wrote, stars Cooper Hoffman as Ray Garraty, a young man living in a dystopian society who enters a grim contest known as the Long Walk. The rules are simple: walk or die. Ray enters the contest with a specific mission in mind, but makes unexpected friends along the way. Directed by Francis Lawrence from a script penned by JT Mollner, the R-rated pic is as brutal as it is emotional, with unrelenting violence and devastation at every turn.
In case you forgot the rules, we'll remind you: the men must walk along U.S. Route 1 without stopping. Each Walker must keep his pace above 3 miles per hour, and receives a warning if he drops below this speed for 30 seconds. If he walks for an hour without earning another warning, the first one will be canceled out. If a contestant gets three warnings and fails to keep walking, he is eliminated. It's important to keep the rules in mind as we walk you through the ending of the film, and answer any questions you might have about the fates of Ray and his newfound friends.
