Amazon Prime Video unveiled the official teaser trailer of the upcoming film Man on the Run, which takes viewers on an intimate journey through Paul McCartney's extraordinary life following The Beatles' breakup and the formation of the band Wings with his wife, Linda, in the 1970s.
Helmed by Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, Man on the Run chronicles the arc of McCartney's solo career as he faces challenges as an independent musician while creating new music to define a new decade. It features unseen footage and rare archival materials of Paul's life.
In the opening clip of the teaser, McCartney says, “The Beatles had broken up and I was thinking, what do I do now?”
“How can I ever do anything that’s anywhere near as good as The Beatles?”
The video also features clips of The Beatles, his wife and others.
In the voiceover, he says, “I was on my own for the first time. I had to look inside myself, so I put a new band together. I thought we should start from square one. It was a puzzle I had to unravel.”
