🎸Paul McCartney: Man on the Run (2025) – The Untold Wings Era of a Legend | Streaming February 25, 2026 on Prime Video

✨ “The dream was over… but the music was just beginning.”

When The Beatles’ era came to a close, the world wondered — what would Paul McCartney do next? The answer arrives in Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, a breathtaking new documentary directed by Academy Award® winner Morgan Neville, premiering February 25, 2026 on Amazon Prime Video.

🎬 The Story Beyond The Beatles

Following the seismic breakup of The Beatles, Paul McCartney was a man at a crossroads — haunted by the world’s greatest musical legacy, yet hungry to create something new. Man on the Run takes us deep into that defining decade: the 1970s, when Paul and his wife Linda McCartney built Wings, one of the most successful bands of the era.

With unprecedented access to rare archival footage, unseen home videos, and intimate studio sessions, Morgan Neville paints a portrait of McCartney not as a Beatle, but as a man rediscovering himself through music, love, and reinvention.

💬 “I didn’t want to be Paul McCartney from The Beatles,” Paul once said. “I wanted to be Paul McCartney from Wings.”

🎥 Directed by the Master of Music Stories

Morgan Neville — the visionary behind 20 Feet from Stardom and Won’t You Be My Neighbor? — brings his signature human touch to the myth of McCartney. Co-produced by Chloe Simmons, Meghan Walsh, Scott Rodger, Ben Chappell, Michele Anthony, and David Blackman, the film is both a tribute and a revelation.

Neville doesn’t shy away from the turbulence — the creative struggles, media skepticism, and personal loss that shaped Paul’s post-Beatles years. Instead, he shows us the man behind the myth: one who dared to start over when the world thought he’d already done it all.

🎶 From “Band on the Run” to New Beginnings

The documentary’s title, Man on the Run, draws inspiration from Wings’ iconic 1973 album Band on the Run — a record that symbolized freedom, experimentation, and resilience. Through the lens of this era, we see Paul’s evolution as an artist unchained from the shadow of The Beatles, crafting timeless hits like Live and Let Die, Jet, and Maybe I’m Amazed.

Each song becomes more than music — it’s a milestone in his personal journey. The film captures Paul and Linda’s bond, their creative partnership, and their quiet rebellion against fame’s expectations.

🎸 “The Beatles were about unity,” Paul reflects in one archival clip. “Wings were about survival.”

🌍 A Global Celebration

Produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Tremolo, MPL Communications, and PolyGram Entertainment, Man on the Run will be available worldwide on Amazon Prime Video.

Executive-produced by Caitrin Rogers and Paul McCartney himself, the film invites fans — from lifelong Beatles devotees to new generations of listeners — to rediscover the man who refused to stop making music, even when the world told him to.

🕊️ Why You Should Watch

If Get Back showed us how The Beatles ended, Man on the Run shows us how Paul McCartney began again. It’s a story of artistic rebirth, love, and the courage to create without the safety net of legend.

This isn’t just a documentary — it’s a journey through resilience, proof that even icons must start over. And in Paul’s case, that second act became just as legendary as the first.
