Man on the Run (2026)
Overview
Man on the Run is a documentary by Morgan Neville tracing Paul McCartney's creative and personal reinvention through the 1970s, from the Beatles' collapse to the Wings years. Drawing on rare archival footage and family interviews, the film centers domestic life as the foundation of artistic recovery, with McCartney's marriage to Linda and their farm-rooted family portrayed as the sustaining force behind everything that followed. That framing is largely what earns the Leans Traditional label. There is no political or ideological agenda at work, no DEI reframing of history, and no LGBTQ or gender themes. The film is simply a portrait of marriage, creative partnership, and multigenerational bonds told through one of rock's most recognizable careers.
