Glen Powell and Edgar Wright's adaptation of Stephen King's The Running Man —which was previously made in an '80s cult classic film with Arnold Schwarzenegger — is now available to watch at home in the UK after wrapping up its cinema run (no pun intended).
The movie can be purchased from digital storefronts such as Prime Video and AppleTV for £13.99.
It should be noted that there's no 48-hour rental option at the time of writing.
Over in the US, the film is available to stream with a Paramount+ subscription, but that's not the case over here at the moment.
And for those of you wanting the film on disc, HMV has the release date listed as 2 March.

For those who aren't aware, The Running Man is set in a dystopian future where a media conglomerate controls everything.
Powell's lead character Ben lands a place on the titular deadly reality show, where he can win $1 billion if he survives for 30 days while assassins and the general public alike are out to kill him, and his movements are being broadcast on every screen.
The film was a box office bomb, making around $69 million worldwide at the box office on the back of a reported $110 million budget.

Reviews were decent, with a 63% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and a 78% positive score from over 2,500 user ratings.
"As a humorous action film, it’s an enjoyable experience," wrote the Seattle Times, which added that "As a social commentary on a dystopian America, it mostly just trips over itself."
NPR said that "It works quite well, and it's a lot of fun. But some of King's sharper-elbowed commentary... is blunted a bit."
The Telegraph called it an "exhilarating adaptation", but did note that it was "perhaps Wright's first feature to feel, in a positive way, like the work of a director for hire".
The Running Man can be bought digitally now.
