Synopsis
The Runner (2015) is a political drama you can watch online on iFILM. Nicolas Cage plays Congressman Colin Price, a New Orleans idealist riding the wave of public fury over an offshore oil disaster. Then a surveillance camera catches him somewhere he shouldn't be — and the story stops being about the spill.
Directed by Austin Stark, the film follows Price as the fallout strips away his credibility layer by layer. Connie Nielsen plays his wife, Sarah Paulson his sharp political advisor, and Wendell Pierce the ally who sees the wreckage coming before Price does. The scandal machine moves faster than any cleanup crew.
Stark frames it as a study in how American politics consumes its own — idealism in, cynicism out. Cage underplays it, and that restraint is actually what the film needs. Stream The Runner (2015) online on iFILM.
