On the Run is Bruno de Almeida's 1998 feature film debut. It stars Michael Imperioli and John Ventimiglia (both of The Sopranos) and is written by Joe Minion (After Hours) based on a story by Bruno de Almeida and Jonathan Berman. It won the award for best film at the 1999 Ourense Film Festival in Spain. On the Run was nominated for a Critic's award at the Paris Film Festival and for an Open Palm at the Gotham Awards in New York in 2000. It was released theatrically and broadcast in Europe and in the US. It had its cable debut on The Independent Film Channel in 2001, and was released on DVD in 2002, becoming a cult classic.
Albert is an introverted travel agent living a lonely life in New York City. When Louie, his best friend from childhood, appears having just escaped from prison, Albert's quiet existence is permanently disrupted. What ensues is one long, crazy night in New York that will change both their lives forever. A tragic-comedy in the tradition of the seventies buddy flicks.
