Man on the Run

Man on the Run (2026) is a Paul McCartney documentary you can watch online on iFILM. The biggest band in the world had just fallen apart, and its melody-writer was left with no group, no plan, and a name too famous to fail quietly. So he built something new.

The film traces Wings from rough early rehearsals to the stadium years of the 1970s. Director Morgan Neville pieces it together largely from home footage, the kind that shows McCartney as a husband and father rather than a legend behind glass. Linda is everywhere in it — sitting down at a keyboard she barely knows how to play, her presence reshaping the sound of the whole decade. The people who were there speak too: Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Elton John, Chrissie Hynde, the McCartney kids.

Neville, who has spent a career inside music documentaries, skips the monument-building and asks a smaller question — what it costs to start over when everyone only wants you to repeat the past. There are plenty of familiar hits here, and even more of the quiet between them. Stream Man on the Run (2026) online on iFILM.
