She was Wonder Woman. She was the Evil Queen. Now, Gal Gadot is The Runner in a tense psychological thriller coming to Amazon Prime.

In the pulse-pounding psychological thriller The Runner, Maia Marten 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.

Damian Lewis, Rory Wilmot, and Alfred Enoch co-star in the Kevin MacDonald-directed film.

The Runner will debut on Amazon Prime Video on September 2, 2026.
