Ahead of its release in cinemas around Australia on September 10 2026, the trailer for the new action-thriller RUNNER has been released. Filmed within the vibrant urban settings and striking landscapes of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the trailer gives a first glimpse into the adrenaline-fuelled ticking-clock thriller infused with heart, humour, an authentically Australian landscape and a stellar cast that includes Alan Ritchson, Owen Wilson and Rodrigo Santoro.
RUNNER follows Hank Malone, a high-end courier who has three hours to transport an organ to save a seven-year-old girl in need of an immediate transplant. The seemingly simple mission turns deadly when the leader of a notorious crime syndicate becomes hell-bent on claiming the organ. Along for the ride is Ben Bishop, the medical courier Hank is begrudgingly forced to transport and protect.
RUNNER is directed by action aficionado Scott Waugh (6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain, Hidden Strike, Expend4bles) and produced by Todd Garner of Broken Road Productions (Mortal Kombat, Vacation Friends) alongside Mark Fasano of Nickel City Pictures (Land of Bad, Marlowe), Jeff Greenstein of A Higher Standard (The Hitman’s Bodyguard), and Deborah Glover who produced Sleeping Dogs under her own production company, G2 Dispatch. Writers Miles Hubley and Tommy White alongside the filmmakers embraced Queensland, rewriting the script to reflect the unique energy of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
