The makers of Gal Gadot starrer 'The Runner' have released the trailer of the film, which also stars Damian Lewis in the lead role.
The psychological thriller 'The Runner' revolves around Gal Gadot's quest to find her son, who has been kidnapped, as seen in the trailer of the film.

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?
Prime Video shared the trailer on its Instagram handle.
The film is directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Mark Gibson. It is produced by David Kosse and executive produced by Jane Robertson, Amy Paquette, Elliott Kleinberg, and Claire Willats
Apart from the lead roles, Rory Wilmot and Alfred Enoch play prominent roles. It will stream on Prime Video on September 2.

The premise sounds gripping, but honestly, I'm a bit tired of the 'mother fighting for child' trope. Still, Gal Gadot's acting skills and the action sequences might make it worthwhile. Let's hope the script has some twists.
This looks like a mix of 'Taken' and 'Run Lola Run'! The psychological angle with the constant running ought to keep us on edge. Gadot is perfect for this role—strong, determined. Also, big fan of Damian Lewis from 'Billions'. Prime Video always delivers! ✅
As a mom, this trailer hit me hard. The fear of your child being in danger is universal. Gadot brings that raw emotion beautifully. But the idea of sprinting through a city with no help? That's terrifying. Definitely watching this with tissues! 😢💪
Hollywood thrillers are getting predictable, but this one seems different with the real-time running concept. Also, Gadot's dedication to her family—she has four daughters! That makes her performance even more authentic. Box office hit loading... 💥🍿
I appreciate the female-led action, but the 'kidnapped child' plot has been done to death. What makes this special is Kevin Macdonald directing—he made 'The Last King of Scotland'. Hoping for a clever screenplay and not just chase sequences. Fingers crossed! 🤞
