What happens when you wake up the morning after leaving the most important rock band of all time?

In April 1970, Paul released his first solo album, McCartney, alongside a shocking press release that announced the beloved band had split. When asked what he’d do next, he said his only plan… was to grow up. Man on the Run captures Paul’s transformative decade in the wake of The Beatles’ break-up. 

Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartney’s exceptional photographs, and interviews with Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, Sean Ono Lennon, Mary and Stella McCartney, all the living Wings members, and of course Paul himself, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens. 

Includes a bonus conversation with Paul McCartney and director Morgan Neville, exclusive to cinemas.
