By High-speed action meets unlikely comedy in Runner, the upcoming thriller that sees Alan Ritchson stepping back into the spotlight – this time alongside Owen Wilson.
Directed by Scott Waugh, known for action-packed titles like The Expendables 4 and Act of Valor, Runner delivers a pulse-pounding race against time with a life-or-death mission at its core.
Ritchson plays a former soldier forced into action when a critical medical delivery – a liver transplant meant to save a dying child – puts him directly in the crosshairs of a ruthless cartel. As enemies close in from all sides and betrayal lurks around every corner, he must rely on his combat skills to protect the cargo and complete the mission before time runs out.
Adding a surprising twist is Wilson’s presence, bringing humor and heart to what quickly evolves into a buddy-style dynamic between two mismatched allies. The chemistry between brute force and laid-back wit gives Runner an extra edge, balancing intense action with crowd-pleasing charm.
Set for release on September 11, 2026, Runner is shaping up to be a high-octane thrill ride with both punches and personality.
