Gal Gadot stars in Prime Video thriller The Runner
The psychological action thriller “The Runner” is set to premiere on Prime Video on September 2, 2026. Directed by Kevin Macdonald, the film stars Gal Gadot as Maia Marten, a successful London lawyer whose life is upended when her son is kidnapped. To save him, she is forced to follow the instructions of a mysterious caller, voiced by Damian Lewis, which requires her to remain in constant motion across the streets of London.
During production, Gadot faced significant physical challenges due to the film's intense running sequences. To prepare for the role, she worked with an Olympic trainer to master efficient running techniques. However, the physical toll resulted in Gadot breaking both feet during filming, forcing her to complete parts of the production on crutches.
The film features a supporting cast including Alfred Enoch and Rory Wilmot. It is described as a high-stakes, real-time thriller that utilizes various iconic London locations, such as Regent’s Canal and the London Underground.
