Gal Gadot swaps superheroes for a desperate fight to save her son in the first trailer for The Runner, an upcoming psychological thriller that transforms a routine morning jog into a relentless race against time.
Directed as a high-stakes survival story, The Runner follows Maia Marten (Gadot), a successful London lawyer whose carefully controlled life is thrown into chaos after she receives a phone call revealing her son has been kidnapped.
The rules laid out by his captors are chillingly simple: keep running, follow every instruction, tell no one, and never stop. Any hesitation could cost her son’s life.
As Maia is forced through London’s crowded streets and sprawling Underground network, every decision carries potentially devastating consequences. Cut off from help and with no clear idea who is orchestrating the ordeal, she must rely on instinct and determination as the city itself becomes part of the psychological trap.
Set almost entirely against the backdrop of one of the world’s busiest cities, from September 2nd, 2026, on Prime Video, The Runner explores how quickly an ordinary day can spiral into a nightmare, with a mother’s determination becoming her greatest weapon in a race where every second matters.
