Run Hide Fight: Infidels

Run Hide Fight: Infidels is an upcoming American action thriller directed and written by Kyle Rankin, the filmmaker behind the 2020 original Run Hide Fight. This third installment in the franchise moves the setting from a high school to a college campus, where a pro-Palestine protest turns into a siege. A radical Islamic terrorist cell takes the demonstrators hostage, intending to impose what the synopsis calls "barbaric Sharia law" and execute "infidels" on American soil. The film stars Jonathan Majors as Clayton Saunders, a retired Delta Force captain who steps in to lead a rescue.

Produced by The Daily Wire, Bonfire Legend, and Tall Street Productions, the film is part of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro's expanding entertainment slate. The project has drawn attention for its politically charged premise and for marking Majors's return to the screen after his 2023 domestic violence conviction. The supporting cast includes David Lucas, JC Kilcoyne, Tyler Aser, James Bingham, Savanna Leigh James, and Sharon Johal. Filming wrapped in 2025, and the movie is scheduled for release on September 16, 2026. [edit]

On a liberal arts college campus, a group of students gathers for a peaceful pro-Palestine protest. The demonstration is meant to draw attention to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, but it quickly turns into a nightmare when a radical Islamic terrorist cell takes over the encampment. The terrorists, armed and organized, declare the campus a makeshift caliphate and take the students hostage. They threaten to execute anyone they consider an "infidel" unless their demands are met, turning a political statement into a deadly standoff.

Clayton Saunders, a retired Delta Force captain now living a quiet life nearby, catches wind of the siege. With local law enforcement struggling to respond, Saunders decides to act. He assembles a ragtag group of students and campus security personnel who are willing to fight back. The group must navigate the terrorists' defenses, avoid detection, and buy time until a larger rescue can be organized. As the situation escalates, Saunders uses his military training to plan a counter-offensive, but he is outnumbered and outgunned.

The film follows Saunders as he moves through the campus, using his knowledge of close-quarters combat and guerrilla tactics. Each step brings new risks, as the terrorists are ruthless and well prepared. The hostages are a mix of students, some of whom support the protest and others who just happened to be in the wrong place. Saunders must decide who to trust and how far he is willing to go to save them. The tension builds as the deadline for the first execution approaches, forcing Saunders to make a move before he is fully ready.

Along the way, the film explores the motivations of both the terrorists and the students. The terrorists see themselves as soldiers in a holy war, while the students are caught between their ideals and their survival. Saunders, a man who has seen combat and its consequences, struggles with the morality of the situation. He is a warrior, but he is also a man who has left that life behind. The plot races toward a final confrontation, where Saunders must use every skill he has to break the siege and save the hostages.[edit]
