The Long Walk

In a dystopian version of America ruled by a totalitarian regime, thousands of teenage boys apply to participate in an annual event known as "The Long Walk." Fifty boys chosen at random are given water and rations, and must walk without stopping along a preset route while a squad of soldiers escorts them. Any walker who falls below 3 miles per hour (4.8 km/h) for 10 seconds is given a verbal warning, but can lose it by maintaining speed for an hour. If a walker takes three warnings and falls below speed again, he is shot and killed by the soldiers. The Walk ends when there is only one survivor left, who receives a cash prize and can have one wish fulfilled.
