The Long Walk follows 100 teenage boys forced into a brutal contest where stopping means death. Each walker must maintain a pace of at least three miles per hour; fall short and they receive a warning. Three warnings, and they’re executed on the spot. The march only ends when a single boy remains alive.

So it's "The Hunger Games" meets the Bataan Death March?

Golly, who wouldn't want to watch that?

Similar to forced marches during the US Civil War.
