There’s only so long you can run from your past. In first trailer for thriller The Runner, Gal Gadot is trying for that past. Her world is shattered will ask her ‘how will she go?’
This film is directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King Of Scotland) which also stars Damian Lewis, Rory Wilmot, and Alfred Enoch. The Runner is set in London and follows Maia (Gadot), a lawyer based in London. Her world is turned upside when she receives a call that someone has her son. Pushing her to run around London and follow every command, how far will Maia go for her son?
Beware there is a Alan Ritchson, Owen Wilson action comedy called Runner. This version looks a solid film, nothing extraordinary.
Synopsis | In the pulse-pounding psychological thriller The Runner, 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?
Set against the backdrop of London’s hyper-connected streets, 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.
The Runner will premiere globally on Prime Video on 2nd September.
