“That’s my ride!” Angel Studios has debuted the final official trailer for the action comedy titled Runner, set in Brisbane, Australia following two guys on the run. It’s opening in September in the US – presented as the PG-13 version with a bit less violence, though much more humor. A former soldier is thrown into a race against time as a medical delivery makes him the prime target of a ruthless cartel. Set down in Australia, a high-end courier has three hours to transport a liver from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. They end up under attack and will do anything to make sure it’s delivered safely to this young girl. This “buddy comedy” action movie stars Alan Ritchson (also seen in this summer’s Motor City) as Hank Malone and Owen Wilson as Ben Bishop. This also stars Rodrigo Santoro, Leila George, Adriana Barraza, Sullivan Stapleton, Peta Sergeant, Geraldine Hakewill, and Goran D. Kleut. Hold on tight! There have been two other quite good trailers before but this this is the best one yet – playing up the comedy along with the action. And introducing us to the bird which is also along for the ride? I’m thinking this might just be a really good time.
Here’s the final US trailer (+ poster) for Scott Waugh’s action comedy Runner, direct from YouTube:
You can rewatch the first teaser for Waugh’s Runner action movie here and the other intl. trailer here.
A former soldier is thrown into a brutal race against time when a critical medical delivery makes him the target of a ruthless cartel. With betrayal closing in from every side, he must survive the chase and deliver his cargo before an innocent child runs out of time. Runner is directed by American action filmmaker Scott Waugh, director of the movies Act of Valor, Need for Speed, 6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain, Hidden Strike, and The Expendables 4 previously. The screenplay is written by Miles Hubley & Tommy White. It’s produced by Mark Fasano, Todd Garner, Deborah Glover, Jeffrey Greenstein, and Alan Ritchson. This was filmed on location in Australia last year (you can read Ritchson’s wrap post here). Angel Studios will release Waugh’s Runner movie in US theaters starting on September 11th, 2026 later this year. Look any good?
