When you think of a dystopian action drama about a brutally dangerous competition with life-changing amounts of money at stake, your mind may not immediately go to, say, a historical epic. Glen Powell thinks about his new movie The Running Man slightly differently, though.
"One of the things that I would say is the structure of the movie is more like Braveheart and Gladiator," Powell tells GamesRadar+ when we sit down with him in London. "Like, ordinary people who are trying to save individual family members or make up for terrible things that have happened to family members and sort of end up getting pulled into a greater story where their problems aren't unique, and their sense of the world and how they're interacting with their world is... they're almost finding humanity in the inhumane."
