Daily Wire’s ‘Run Hide Fight: Infidels’ Tease Is Pure Fire

Director Uwe Boll had the most subversive movie project of the year … for a good week.

Boll’s “Citizen Vigilante” cast Armie Hammer as an American targeting violent migrants across Europe. It’s bold, brash and uncompromising, the kind of film Hollywood would never, ever touch.

Why? The facts that inspired the thriller are too inconvenient.

That may explain why Germany banned the film in theaters and most professional movie critics refused to critique it. The Daily Wire’s upcoming film looks to be even more explosive, if that’s possible.

“Run Hide Fight: Infidels,” a spiritual sequel of sorts to The Daily Wire’s first film, 2020’s “Run Hide Fight,” is set on a liberal college campus overrun by terrorists. Here’s the official description:

When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil. 

Think “Red Dawn” meets “No Safe Spaces?”

Editor’s Note: Enjoying Hollywood in Toto? I hope you’ll consider leaving a coin (or two) in our Tip Jar.

The original “Run Hide Fight” featured a wily teen (“Scream 7” star Isabel May) battling back against the thugs who stormed her high school, eager to engage in mass slaughter.

That premise proved radioactive in Hollywood circles, allowing The Daily Wire to swoop in and distribute it.

That story’s twist feels almost tame compared to what’s teased here. The trailer’s video snippets touch on 9/11, radical Islamic terrorists and anti-Israeli protests across college campuses.

Nary a punch is pulled.

The only original footage in the teaser? A wide shot of a university where the Islamic call to prayer blasts over the loudspeakers.

“Coming Soon … the teaser promises … Or Already Here?”

The Daily Wire says the film will be released “in the Fall” on DailyWire+. The timing couldn’t be better in a morbid way. New York’s Democratic primary just chose three potential legislators with deep anti-Israel roots, and that’s being generous.

The rise of antisemitism across Western culture is undeniable, and the evidence is everywhere. So is the violence.

Yet Hollywood has done little to address the subject. The same holds for late-night comedians and “Saturday Night Live.” Now, a rebel media platform appears ready to address the issue head on.

Kyle Rankin, who directed the original “Run Hide Fight,” is back as both director and screenwriter.

The upcoming film features Jonathan Majors, the rising star who endured an unofficial cancellation three years ago. The actor appeared as Kang the Conqueror in two MCU projects and appeared to be the prime villain to face The Avengers.

Then, his troubled personal life got in the way.

He was convicted in December of 2023 on two misdemeanor counts of harassment and assault of ex-partner Grace Jabbari.

His participation alone is eyebrow-raising in some circles. The film’s unapologetic premise and red meat trappings could make it the year’s most subversive feature.

By a country mile.
