A Delivery Turns Into a Manhunt

Runner centers on a high-stakes organ delivery that quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Owen Wilson plays Ben Bishop, a private courier tasked with transporting the organ, while Alan Ritchson’s former Navy SEAL Hank Malone becomes part of the mission when a cartel begins hunting them down.

The film turns that setup into a race against time, combining a medical emergency with escalating pursuit, gunfights and an increasingly chaotic journey. The pairing of Wilson and Ritchson gives the story a buddy-action dynamic, balancing the urgency of the delivery with moments of humor and personality.

A Fast Ride With a Simple Hook

Runner is built around a simple, effective action-thriller premise and rarely strays from it. The ticking-clock transplant story gives the chase immediate stakes, while Scott Waugh keeps the focus on momentum, physical action and the contrast between its two leads.

Alan Ritchson brings the heavier action presence, while Owen Wilson provides a looser, more comic energy that keeps the film from becoming relentlessly grim. The result is a compact buddy thriller that favors pace and straightforward entertainment over complexity, using its medical deadline and cartel pursuit to keep the pressure consistently high.
