Quick answer: The Runner premieres on Prime Video on September 2, 2026. Prime Video’s India page currently shows a 12:30 PM launch time, making this an unusually easy release to plan: it is an 85-minute psychological thriller with Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam audio available alongside English.
When does The Runner release on Prime Video in India?
The Runner arrives on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. The Prime Video title page shows the film as “Coming soon” at 12:30 PM for its India listing, rather than giving viewers only a calendar date.
It is included with a Prime membership. That direct streaming launch also separates this Gal Gadot thriller from unrelated films that share The Runner title. If you are scanning the larger slate, it also appears in our OTT releases guide for August 31 to September 6.
What is The Runner about?
Gal Gadot plays Maia Marten, a London lawyer whose morning run becomes a moving hostage crisis when a caller says her son has been taken. Maia is ordered to stay in motion, follow each command and trust no one while the clock keeps tightening around her.
The premise turns a familiar part of central London into the trap. Maia cannot simply reach a safe room or wait for help, because movement is part of the threat. The official trailer builds the suspense around the earpiece in her ear, the city closing in and the fear that any apparent ally could make the situation worse.
How long is the movie?
Prime Video lists a runtime of 1 hour 25 minutes. That compact length fits the film’s race-against-time design: one urgent command follows another, with little room for the story to wander away from Maia’s attempt to recover her son.
The India listing carries a U/A 13+ rating and classifies the movie under suspense and drama. Those labels are more useful than treating it as a broad action spectacle. The core promise is pressure, distrust and a parent forced into impossible choices.
Which dubbed languages and subtitles are available?
Viewers in India can choose English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam audio. Prime Video also lists subtitles in all six of those languages, including English closed captions.
Accessibility options go further than the usual dub list. The English track includes audio description and Dialogue Boost at medium and high levels. Those options matter for a thriller that uses calls, whispered instructions and city noise as part of its tension.
Who made The Runner?
Kevin Macdonald directs the film, with David Kosse listed as producer. Prime Video names Gal Gadot and Damian Lewis as the principal cast, while Amazon MGM Studios is the studio behind the release.
Gadot is the physical centre of the story as Maia, sprinting through London while trying to read a threat she cannot see. Lewis supplies the other major presence in the film’s tightly held cast setup. Our The Runner cast guide maps Maia, the Caller and Noah while keeping Alfred Enoch’s still-undisclosed role clearly marked.

The practical takeaway
The Runner is a short, same-day watch rather than a weekend-long commitment. Open Prime Video after the listed 12:30 PM India launch on September 2, choose the audio or subtitle track you prefer and expect an 85-minute thriller built to keep Maia, and the viewer, moving.
