Jeremy Irons, Alex Sharp, and Analeigh Tipton go on a road trip in the Better Start Running trailer

In BETTER START RUNNING, an unexpected series of events turns everyday store clerk Harley (Alex Sharp) into a wanted man… and even more unexpectedly, he finds himself on the run with the girl of his dreams (Analeigh Tipton). FBI Agent McFadden (Maria Bello) is determined to crush him and wants to teach her rookie partner (Karan Soni) how it’s done. But while the agents pursue their culprit, our hero has loftier pursuits. He kidnaps his Vietnam vet grandfather (Jeremy Irons) to reunite him with the love of his life, picks up a try-hard beatnik hitchhiker (Edi Gathegi) with a secret of his own, and against all common sense follows a roadside attractions map with a mysterious history. As the agents get closer and closer with every stop, this eclectic band of misfits becomes an unlikely family, because sometimes … a running start … can be a better start.

Directed by Brett Simon, the film stars Jeremy Irons, Alex Sharp, Analeigh Tipton, Maria Bello, Karan Soni, Edi Gathegi, and Jane Seymour.

The film hits US cinemas and VOD on 12th October 2018.
