Amazon MGM Studios has released an intensified look at THE RUNNER, a psychological thriller starring Gal Gadot as Maia Marten, a high‑powered London lawyer whose life is built on precision, control, and staying ahead of every threat. That carefully constructed world collapses during her morning run when a single phone call delivers a devastating ultimatum: her son has been abducted, and the only way to keep him alive is to keep moving.
The trailer deepens the tension as Maia is forced into a relentless, city‑wide sprint, following a chain of cryptic and increasingly dangerous commands. Every instruction pulls her deeper into a web of manipulation, pushing her through crowded streets, transit hubs, and surveillance‑heavy corridors where escape is impossible and hesitation is fatal. As the tasks escalate, Maia begins to understand that the kidnapping is not random — it’s targeted, personal, and designed to break her.
Set against London’s hyper‑connected infrastructure, THE RUNNER frames the city as both a maze and a weapon, amplifying the film’s real‑time urgency. Gadot anchors the story with a performance driven by fear, resolve, and a mother’s unyielding determination to reclaim her son, no matter the cost.
Directed by Kevin Macdonald, the film blends psychological pressure with kinetic action, creating a tight, 84‑minute thriller where every second matters and every choice reshapes the outcome.
