The Daily Wire released an action thriller film titled Run Hide Fight: Infidels in September 2026 as a standalone follow up to its 2020 movie. Directed by and starring Jonathan Majors, the plot centers on a radical Islamic terrorist cell seizing a university campus. Following its premiere, the film encountered significant backlash from reviewers and advocacy groups who characterized the narrative as polarizing propaganda due to its portrayal of Muslim antagonists. Simultaneously, studio production teams faced localized community pushback and temporary project shutdowns stemming from ongoing labor and community disputes. The title shares its name with the nationally recognized active threat public safety protocol endorsed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which outlines emergency response procedures for run, hide, and fight scenarios during violent intruder situations across the United States.
