Lola's brain spins into overdrive: 20 minutes time to get 100,000 marks together. 20 minutes time to save Manni's life. Lola has an idea. She bombs out of the house and starts running through the streets of Berlin. Lola runs. For her life, for Manni's life, for their love - and to somehow, somewhere get the money.
While Lola tries to get the money from her father, a bank director (Herbert Knaup), Manni is losing control: In his desperation, the only solution he can think of, is to rob a supermarket. When Lola reaches Manni, it's too late. She hesitates, but then helps him with the robbery. Just as they are about to make off with the money, the sound of sirens screech through the summer skies. Police marksmen surround the supermarket. Shots are fired…
…and with the apparent end to the film, the actual adventure begins. The film explodes into a passionate, fascinating, unpredictable story about love and the unique moments which can change a life forever. Sometimes it is just minutes which decide over life and death.
With a pulsating, up-to-the-minute soundtrack, exciting, unusual visuals and a city pace, RUN LOLA RUN celebrates the triumph of love, which captures the breath-taking life feeling of the late nineties.
