Run Chrissie Run! (1986): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1986, Run Chrissie Run! is an action, thriller, crime and adventure film directed by Chris Langman, running about 90 minutes.

What it’s about. The action moves along quickly, jumping over holes in the script, in this made-for-television drama about Eve, an ex-terrorist from Germany who is forced to escape to Australia with her teenage daughter Chrissie when she is sought by Riley, a lover from 17 years in the past. In turn, the IRA has sent two members after Riley because he shot an IRA soldier and must pay the consequences. The two IRA operatives looking for Riley come across a really nasty biker who wants vengeance on Eve for setting his car on fire -- and the three men finally track her and Chrissie to the wine-growing country of Barossa Valley. The final denouement is about to explode, as Riley also arrives on the scene. With under-par acting and a patchy plot, this film was never released theatrically.

Who’s in it. Run Chrissie Run! stars Carmen Duncan as Eve, Michael Aitkens as Riley, Shane Briant as Terrier and Red Symons as Pitt (as Redmond Symons), among others.
