Paul McCartney is a legend whose music has touched millions around the world and connected them. One of the stars behind the Beatles, he quietly built a career that continues to inspire. Whether it was his journey with the Beatles or his career after leaving the band, he has shown what true talent and determination look like. And a new documentary, Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, directed by Morgan Neville, shone the spotlight on the latter part of his career and the incredible heights he reached. 

After making its way through film festivals, the documentary is finally coming to Amazon Prime. So, here is everything you need to know about the cast, the plot, and the release date.

Man on the Run takes both the legend Paul McCartney and his fandom back to 1970 when he left the Beatles. The documentary follows the musician as he builds his own band, Wings with his wife, Linda. It also includes archival footage and a glimpse of the time when he gave hits like ‘My Love’, ‘Band on the Run’, ‘Listen to What the Man Said’, and many more. 

As for the cast, it will show the band members through archival footage. So, here is a look at who could show up in the documentary.

In Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the cast requires no invention: Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison appear not as portrayals, but as themselves.

The documentary appeared in the Telluride Film Festival back in August 2025 and had a limited theatrical release by Trafalgar Releasing. Now, it is all set to arrive on Amazon Prime.

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, which celebrates the life of the legendary musician after he left the Beatles, will be released on 27 February this year and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime. Viewers can either sign up for the service or access it through a three-month free trial to watch the movie.

Amazon Prime already hosts another Beatles-themed documentary, Inside John Lennon and Imagine: John Lennon, which focuses on another member of the iconic band. This makes Paul McCartney: Man on the Run the perfect watch while waiting for the latest release.

With its intimate look at McCartney’s life and career, the film is a true delight to Beatles fans old and new. And it is certainly a must-watch for those eager to explore the story behind one of music’s greatest legends, or simply a strong rival to the best documentaries on Netflix.
