The Outrun is a 2024 English-language drama film starring Saoirse Ronan as a woman who returns home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland.

The film is a co-production between the United Kingdom and Germany, and in addition to starring Ronan, it features Paapa Essiedu, Nabil Elouahabi, Izuka Hoyle, Lauren Lyle, Saskia Reeves, and Stephen Dillane in supporting roles.

In flashbacks, we see Rona's previous life as a biology graduate student in London, finding freedom in clubbing and meeting a serious boyfriend, Daynin.

Rona's father has bipolar disorder, and when she comes across him in a depressive and non-responsive state, she takes a taste from his abandoned wineglass, leading to a brief relapse.
