A delivery worth fighting for
Runner recapped: Hank and Ben’s delivery, the cartel’s pursuit and Ellie’s fate. Major spoilers.
Open the recap & discussion — spoilers
A former soldier and a medical courier must get a transplant organ to a child while a cartel tries to take it.
The package at the airport
Hank Malone transports packages for a living. At an airport he meets medical courier Ben Bishop, who insists that a liver in a cooler must reach a hospital for a girl named Ellie.
A cartel wants the same organ
The donor and Ellie share a rare blood type. Cartel members pursue the liver; Hank refuses his boss’s demand to surrender it, and the chase destroys his car.
Hank and Ben reveal what matters
Hank tells Ben that his daughter Isabel died of leukemia. The cartel captures Ben and the cooler, but Hank tracks and rescues them. Ben is shot and dies while they are being transported by ambulance.
The fight reaches the hospital
Cartel leader Damian wants the liver for his mother. At the hospital, nurse Julie is revealed to be acting under pressure from the cartel. Damian takes the cooler, and Hank fights and kills him before collapsing.
Ellie survives
Ellie’s transplant succeeds. While recovering, Hank visits her; later he travels to Paris to honor Isabel, who had loved France.
Ben does not survive the delivery, giving the successful operation a cost that contrasts with the film’s fast-paced action.
