Set against the gritty urban scene-scape of Berlin and a pounding techno soundtrack, RUN LOLA RUN (aka LOLA RENNT) is a frenetic, inventive existential thriller that explores the life-altering impact of seemingly inconsequential actions. Beautiful, hip, and young, poor Lola (Franka Potente) has but 20 minutes to locate a missing bag containing 100,000 Deutsche marks — if she can't recover it, gangsters are going to kill her boyfriend (Moritz Bleibtreu). In a pulse-raising race against time, the film employs a startling array of innovative techniques to present three separate scenarios, all departing from a single split-second decision Lola makes.

Stephan Arndt Producer, Tom Tykwer Screenwriter, Frank Griebe Director of Photography.
