Run the Tide is a 2016 drama film directed by Soham Mehta, written by Rajiv Shah, and starring Taylor Lautner, Constance Zimmer, Kenny Johnson and Johanna Braddy.

The film focuses on Rey Hightower, a young man who learns that his former abusive drug-addicted mother has been released from prison and is planning on fixing her broken relationship with her two sons (who she has not seen or talked to in six years since her incarceration).

Not wanting to have anything to do with his mother, Rey and his younger brother Oliver decide to pack up their bags and run away from home to California to live a better life together.

A young man named Rey Hightower (Lautner), is a college drop-out who has been raising his ten-year-old younger half-brother, Oliver, ever since their mother was sent to prison for drug-related charges six years prior; her first husband—Rey's father—had abandoned them long before.

[3] Dennis Harvey of Variety gave the film a negative review, saying "Tide is smoothly packaged in tech and design departments, but its 90-odd minutes wash over the viewer and recede without leaving a lasting impression.
