Run Lola Run


This is a German movie with the story of a woman who needs to obtain 100,000 Deutsche Mark in 20 minutes to save her boyfriend's life.
The film begins with Lola receiving a phone call from her boyfriend Manni. He works as a low-level courier for Ronnie, a local crime boss. Manni was supposed to bring 100,000 DM (the profits from an ostensibly illicit sale of diamonds) to his boss. Lola fails to pick him up after the exchange due to her Scooter being stolen that morning, so he had to take the subway. He panics when he sees some ticket controllers on the subway and gets off of the train, accidentally leaving the bag with the 100,000 marks behind. The bag is picked up by a homeless person.
Manni has to deliver the 100,000 mark in 20 minutes or face punishment from his boss - possibly murder.
So,this story is about how Lola is able to save her boyfriend's life within 20 minutes of her time.
P.S: Since it is a German movie,watch it with English subtitles if you cant understand German!
But do not miss this movie!
