A new documentary that analyzes Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles prime and The Wings’ 1970s rise has received a one-night-only cinematic release. Paul McCartney: Man on the Run will screen in select theaters worldwide on Thursday, February 19, 2026.
The impending cinematic experience opens in April 1970, in the wake of The Beatles’ dissolution, which stemmed from McCartney’s drive to focus on his solo career and subsequent self-titled album. True to the timeline, the movie tracks the life-changing decade-long tenure that followed and led to the creation of his new band, The Wings.
Pieced together from archival footage and Linda McCartney’s preferred medium of photography, the film also lingers on a series of interviews with Paul, Linda, and their daughters, Mary and Stella McCartney. Original members of the Wings, and folks associated with the scene and family: Sean Ono Lennon, Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, and more, also lend their perspectives and memories.
The cinematic release of Paul McCartney: Man on the Run will occur in select regions worldwide. According to the press release, “In addition to the film, each theatrical screening includes a bonus conversation between Paul McCartney and director Morgan Neville, exclusive to cinemas.”
All theaters taking part in the screening and ticket listings can be found at manontherun.film from February 4th at 2 pm GMT / 9 am ET / 6 am PT.
