Overview
- Angel Studios released the final trailer for Runner and the Motion Picture Association formally rated the film PG-13 for "strong violence, bloody images and some language."
- Runner stars Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson in a throwback-style action buddy picture about a former soldier racing to deliver a critical medical package while hunted by a ruthless cartel.
- Director Scott Waugh called the film "big action, real heart," and Angel Studios emphasizes the production team’s pedigree from titles like Mortal Kombat and The Hitman’s Bodyguard to frame Runner as mainstream theater fare.
- The studio has scheduled a theatrical release for September 11 and is marketing the movie with slick car chases, explosive set pieces, and a supporting cast that includes Rodrigo Santoro and Leila George.
- The PG-13 classification lets the film show intense imagery while keeping wider audience access, a choice that could affect box-office reach and how the final marketing pushes Ritchson’s packed 2026 release slate.
