Run for Your Life is an American drama television series starring Ben Gazzara as a man with only a short time to live.

The series was created by Roy Huggins, who had previously explored the "man on the move" concept with The Fugitive.

Much like Route 66, each episode features the main character on the move, encountering new people in new situations.

Gazzara originated the character of Paul Bryan on Kraft Suspense Theatre, in the episode "Rapture at Two-Forty," which aired on April 15, 1965, and served as the show's pilot.

[citation needed] Although Bryan's doctor gave him no more than 18 months to live, the series ran for three seasons, with 86 hour-long episodes, all filmed in color.
