"Man On The Run", the new documentary about a key era of the life and career of Paul McCartney, will premiere on Prime Video, February 27th, 2026. That same day, a curated soundtrack album accompanying the film will also be released, featuring a treasure trove of previously unreleased material alongside some truly iconic songs from the McCartney’s post Beatles career.

As a preview, 2 tracks, “Arrow Through Me (Rough Mix)", a previously unreleased mix from the 1979 "Back To The Egg" album sessions and “Live And Let Die (Rockshow)” from the 1980 concert film "Rockshow", are streaming now via Amazon Music:

Says "Man On The Run" director Morgan Neville in a statement. “When people talk about the biggest acts of the 1970's, the list rarely includes Paul McCartney. Not because he wasn’t big, he was undeniably one of the biggest acts of the decade, but because of what he’d already done. Paul had been in the biggest band in the world, which in turn had created itself its own gravitational force. In my film, 'Man On The Run', I wanted to look at Paul’s impossible run from that long shadow of The Beatles. It was a journey full of unlikely choices, a van tour! Bruce McMouse! Nigeria! Thrillington! A Scottish anthem! But looked at together, the madness of those choices actually started to seem sane. How else could one deal with the weight of such expectations than by doing the unexpected? I also saw that throughout the decade, Paul stopped running away from something and started running towards something else, his own voice, his own family, his own life. This was a story of somebody finding themselves. This soundtrack is a snapshot of that journey told through his music. Each of these songs is a result of some creative impulse of who Paul was at that moment in time. It was through song that Paul spoke, not only to the world, but to himself. We’re lucky enough to be able to listen along.”
