Gal Gadot thriller The Runner released on Prime Video

Gal Gadot stars as a London-based attorney forced into a desperate race against time in the new action thriller "The Runner," now available on Prime Video. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Mark Gibson, the film centers on Maia Marten, a high-powered lawyer whose life is upended when her young son is abducted. The plot unfolds as Maia receives a chilling phone call from a mysterious voice, informing her that her son has been taken. She is given a stark ultimatum: follow a series of cryptic commands without telling anyone, or her son will die. This directive forces Maia into a perilous chase across London, where she must confront increasingly dangerous instructions, including an order to kill her own client, whose testimony is crucial in convicting a mob boss. Gadot, known for her roles as Wonder Woman and in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, drew upon her own experiences as a mother to connect with the character's motivation. She noted that portraying Maia's fierce maternal instinct was a key aspect of her performance.
