On your marks, get set for The Runner, an adrenaline-fuelled, heart-racing thrill ride. This award-winning, action-packed potboiler sees a troubled teen get involved with drugs way over his head…
This slick and suspenseful coming-of-age thriller from Hollywood virtuoso Michelle Danner – a world-renowned actor, acting coach and director – has won a slew of awards, including Best Feature Film at London Independent Film Festival, Best Cinematography at the Toronto Independent Film Festival and Best Director at L’Age d’Or International Arthouse Film Festival. The film now gets its UK premiere on digital on 21November 2022 courtesy of Reel 2 Reel Films.
After being busted for drug possession, a troubled teenager and talented runner, Aiden (Edouard Philipponnat – House of Gucci, What Happened to Monday), is given a choice by the police: cooperate or spend 10 years in prison. Under duress, he makes the tough choice to work alongside a relentlessly ambitious and hard-boiled detective (Cameron Douglas – Loaded) and has no choice but to confront a local drug kingpin (Eric Balfour – The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, What Women Want). Caught between two worlds – high school dramas and the home comforts of his despairing mother, Miranda (Elisabeth Rohm – Joy, American Hustle) and the sinister crime-ridden world he’s been plunged into, Aiden’s troubles begin to spiral further and further out of control…
A talented young runner races headlong into trouble in this gripping, award-winning thriller. Everyone’s looking for a way out in this captivating and tightly-paced potboiler – but what happens when you can’t outrun all you’ve done? Will Aiden finish his race on the right side of the law?
Gritty, honest, and undeniably human – The Runner is a tense and gripping thriller that’s impossible to walk away from.
