The Runner is a pulse-pounding psychological thriller set across London’s bustling labyrinth of streets and underground tunnels.
Anchored by a compelling performance from Gal Gadot, the film strips a prominent corporate attorney down to her rawest instincts as the maternal drive to save her son takes over.
Maia Marten (Gal Gadot) has built her life on being one step ahead, a sharp, resourceful, high-powered lawyer at the top of London’s legal world. During her routine morning run, a single phone call shatters her world: her son has been taken.
The instructions to get him back are simple and merciless: keep moving, follow every command, and tell no one. Stop, and he dies.
Forced to sprint through the city and obey a series of sinister commands, Maia must confront an impossible question: how far will she go to bring her son home?
Directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Mark Gibson, The Runner is a visceral, high-stakes race where every second counts, every choice carries a price, and a mother’s unstoppable love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.
With its relentless pace and high-octane rescue mission, this absolute must-watch for action fans will release on Prime Video on the 2nd of September.
