Paramount has released a UHD SteelBook packaging variant for the 2025 Action film 'The Running Man,' starring Glen Powell and directed by Edgar Wright. The disc and digital content are identical to that found in the UHD wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

Paramount's SteelBook release of The Running Man is predominantly red, depicting Ben Richards, somewhat small, running in the middle in
front of the film's much larger title. Glen Powell's name, and the text "an Edgar Wright film," both appear above the title, all of which is angled. A
handful of firearms
are pointing at Ricahrds from around the SteelBook's perimeter. The rear panel features Richards running through a boxy area with a bright light source
to his back. A truncated billing block appears at the bottom. The spine is red with the film's title center and the Paramount logo at the top, both in
white.
Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The lone UHD disc is situated on the right on a central hub. The inner print is
a two-panel spread that features a red background with the words "hunt him down" faintly written and repeated six times across the full spread. On the
right is a silhouette depiction of Richards in the crosshairs.

It's getting harder to say that a SteelBook will "stand out on the shelf" just given the sheer volume of them out there, but this one definitely fits that bill what with its bright red appearance. It's not necessarily the most original design out there, but I do like it well enough, especially the inner print. The film is solid, as is the UHD. Recommended!
