Running is a 1979 Canadian sports drama film written and directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Michael Douglas and Susan Anspach. It is about the fictional American marathon runner and Olympic hopeful Michael Andropolis and his struggle to compete in the Olympic Games.
Vincent Canby of The New York Times described the film as "earnest but not particularly affecting."[4] Variety wrote: "Scriptwriter Steven Stern, who directed, never really capitalizes on the sport of running which has become so popular, but Douglas overcomes to deliver a polished performance."[5] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film one star out of four and called it "easily one of the year's worst movies ... This picture was made by a TV writer-director, and it shows."[6] Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the film was "enlivened by some outstanding performances," but also stated that "I didn't get any real sense of the pain or the glory, the mystique or the physicality or the mechanics of running ... and it presents difficulties in a film called 'Running.'"[7] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post described the film as "insufferable ... this sporting tearjerker is the dopiest imitation yet of 'Rocky,' already imitated into absurdity."[8] James K. Loutzenhiser of BoxOffice gave the film a rating of "Good" and called it "an entertaining film" with Douglas "likable and convincing in the leading role."[9] Lawrence O'Toole of Maclean's wrote, "A formula movie, nicely shot by Laszlo George and acted with real vigor by Douglas, Running is Television City, its script easily accessible to any prime-time child."[10]
Run (referred to on-screen as Run.) is a 2020 American psychological horror thriller film directed by Aneesh Chaganty, and written by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian. The film stars Kiera Allen as disabled teenager, Chloe Sherman, who begins to suspect that her mother, Diane, (Sarah Paulson) has been keeping a dark secret about her upbringing. The film has connections to other films by Chaganty and Ohanian, and is the second installment in the filmmaking duo's Searching film series.
Run was released in the United States via streaming on November 20, 2020 on Hulu, and was released in other territories both theatrically and through streaming by Lionsgate International and by Netflix on April 2, 2021. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and became Hulu's most successful original film upon its release.
Chloe asks Diane to take her to the movies. During the film, while pretending to go to the bathroom, she rushes to the pharmacy across the street from the theater. The pharmacist at the desk reveals the green pills are a relaxant called Ridocaine, which had been only approved for dogs. When Chloe asks what would happen if a human took it, the pharmacist informs her that it could paralyze their legs. Upon realizing her mother may be giving her the pills to impair her ability to walk, Chloe begins to hyperventilate. Diane runs in and sedates her daughter to take her home.
Chloe wakes up in bed and finds her bedroom door locked from the outside, while Diane is out running an errand. Realizing that she has the house to herself, Chloe breaks out of her room by dragging herself onto the roof, and eventually making her way to her mother's bedroom and breaking the window with a soldering iron and water. She begins to have an asthma attack and only barely manages to crawl to her room to retrieve her inhaler. She tries to use her automated wheelchair ramp to go downstairs, but finds that Diane has cut the power cord. Chloe is forced to throw her wheelchair down the stairs and accidentally falls, sustaining minor injuries but also discovering that she can move one of her toes, due to having not taken Ridocaine in the last few days.
In June 2018, it was announced Lionsgate would produce, distribute, and finance the film, with Aneesh Chaganty directing, from a screenplay he wrote alongside Sev Ohanian. Ohanian and Natalie Qasabian produced the film.[6] In October 2018, Sarah Paulson joined the cast of the film,[7] and in December 2018, Kiera Allen was set to star as well.[8]
Torin Borrowdale composed the film's score, as he previously collaborated with Chaganty in Searching. According to Borrowdale, the goal for the film's musical direction was to achieve "the essence of Bernard Herrmann, but for a 2020 cinematic experience."[10] The film was a joint production between Summit Entertainment, Lions Gate Films, Search Party Productions, and Hulu Original Films.[11][12][13]
In August 2020 however, with the pandemic's continued influence on the film industry, Hulu acquired American distribution rights to the film,[16] and it debuted exclusively through them via streaming on November 20, 2020.[17] The movie was released in other continents under Lionsgate International banner.[12]
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 88% based on 139 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Solid acting and expertly ratcheted tension help Run transcend its familiar trappings to deliver a delightfully suspenseful thriller."[20] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 20 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[21]
Jessica Gomez of AllHorror.com wrote, "If you're like me and you were captivated by the story of Gypsy Rose and her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, then I've got a psychological thriller with your name on it."[22] Ryan Lattanzio of IndieWire gave the film a "C+" and said, "There's enough go-for-broke and whiplash-inducing shifts in tone on display to suggest this filmmaking duo has a future, even when their characters don't seem to have a past."[23]
In November 2018, Ohanian revealed that Run includes intentional references to his previous film Searching, while also stating that the latter has connections to the prior as well.[25] Later in November 2020, Chaganty and Ohanian revealed that one of these connections involves a brief appearance by the character of Hannah from Searching as a stock photo model. The filmmaking duo stated that the references between their movies establish that they take place within the same fictional continuity.[26]
In November 2022, Ohanian revealed that during the events of Missing, connections to Run. will be explored, including revealing what happened to its main characters. The filmmaker referred to the plot-thread as an epilogue to cliffhanger ending.[27]
"Silent running" isn't, in the last analysis, a very profound movie, nor does it try to be. (If it had, it could have been a pretentious disaster.) It is about a basically uncomplicated man faced with an awesome, but uncomplicated, situation. Given a choice between the lives of his companions and the lives of Earth's last surviving firs and pines, oaks and elms, and creepers and cantaloupes, he decides for the growing things. After all, there are plenty of men. His problem is that, after a while, he begins to miss them.

One night, after a few too many drinks, they placed a bet, spun a globe and their finger landed on Tajikistan. Tajikistan! This is a story without finish lines or medals but rather a story about what happens when you trust in nothing but your own two feet to carry you across one of the last truly wild landscapes on earth.
