Following the devastating BP oil spill of 2010, Louisiana Congressman Colin Pryce (Cage) decides to take a stand and soon has everyone rallying behind his eco-friendly ways. However, his career soon comes under threat when he becomes involved in a sex scandal that tarnishes his reputation.
The trailer is extremely cheesy but it actually looks okay, although Cage’s reserved performance is a little strange to watch. Co-starring Peter Fonda, Connie Neilsen, Sarah Paulson and Bryan Batt, The Runner looks to be a decent political thriller.
The Runner is out August 7th in the US, but no UK date as of yet.
