Overview

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE The brilliant and chilling first novel Stephen King ever wrote tells the tale of the contestants of a diabolically cruel competition where 100 boys start the “long walk” and there is only one winner—the one that survives. In a dystopian near-future, America has fallen on hard times. Sixteen-year-old Ray Garraty is about to compete in the annual grueling match of stamina and wits known as the Long Walk. One hundred boys must keep a steady pace of four miles per hour day and night, without ever stopping. The winner gets “The Prize”—anything he wants for the rest of his life. But the rules of the Long Walk are harsh and the stakes could not be higher. There is no finish line—the winner is the last man standing. Contestants cannot receive any outside aid whatsoever. Slow down under the speed limit and you’re given a warning. Three warnings and you’re out of the game—forever. Written by King when he was a college student and published in 1979 under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, The Long Walk is an unforgettable and timeless masterpiece that showcases King’s genius for character building and his visionary storytelling.

Kazanan hayatta kalır, hayatta kalan kazanır! Geri dönüş... Asla! Her yıl düzenlenen uzun yürüyüşe 100 kişi seçilir. Bu mücadele son kişi ayakta kalana dek devam edecektir. Yarışmacılar gece gündüz demeden kah yağmurlu havada kah yakıcı sıcaklarda durmaksızın ve uyarıya maruz kalmadan yürümek zorundalardır. 3 uyarıdan sonra kendini belirli hızla yürümeye devam ettiremeyen kişiler öldürülür. Peki bu yarışı kim kazanacaktir ve ne zamana kadar diğerleri yürümeye devam edebilecektir...
