Daily Wire makes campus massacre action film

The right-wing media company released Run Hide Fight: Infidels, its 12th film, a loose sequel to 2021's Run Hide Fight. Both movies use school shootings as settings for Die Hard-style action sequences.

New film adds Gaza protest angle

Infidels centers on campus protests against the war in Gaza, adding current culture war themes to the school shooting premise. It stars Jonathan Majors, a convicted abuser attempting a comeback in right-wing productions.

Production plagued by safety issues

Jonathan Majors fell through a window during filming, prompting IATSE union workers to strike over safety concerns. Producer Dallas Sonnier dismissed the strikers, saying producers were "too busy being bad asses" to negotiate.

“too busy being bad asses, blowing sh*t up, flying helicopters, and killing movie terrorists to concern ourselves with four assholes with signs”

Fictional campus suffers hundreds of deaths

Laughton University experiences casualties in the hundreds, far exceeding the deadliest real college shooting. Virginia Tech in 2007 killed 32 people; this movie uses mass death as backdrop for action sequences.

Only "correct" thinkers survive

Jonathan Majors plays a retired Delta Force captain warning that Muslims are using "the wombs of our women" to take over. A pregnant professor who wants to evict protesters are the only characters who think "correctly" from the start.

Terrorists punish female students

Terrorists force female students to strip and shower under guard, declaring their bodies "haram" and threatening to make them "brides." They're forced into niqabs while crying, a scene designed to humiliate and degrade.

Purple-haired protester gets throat cut

A protest leader named Farrah, described as wearing a purple wig and keffiyah, helps terrorists enter campus. Her reward is having her throat cut by the terrorists she assisted.

Gay activist kicked off roof

A student protest leader with "extremely effeminate mannerisms" is kicked off a roof by terrorists after expressing surprise at the death toll. The scene references ISIS killings of gay men in Syria.

Trans activist strung up on flagpole

An apparently trans activist is killed and hung from a flagpole while wearing an LGBTQ+ flag as a cape. The scene is designed as grotesque punishment for their identity and activism.

College students fight back with quips

A small group of students and an overweight Black security officer become comic relief while fighting back. One kills a terrorist in a leg press and quips "Never skip leg day."

“Never skip leg day”

Majors sidelined by injury

Jonathan Majors' character is injured early and sidelined for most of the film. He's the only actor who commands the screen, making the rest of the cast feel dramatically inert by comparison.

Majors executes shackled prisoner

Majors' character confronts the lead terrorist in military custody and shoots him despite his shackles, saying "Actually, that's the American way" while spitting. Nearby soldiers never react.

Film celebrates violence as ideology

Run Hide Fight: Infidels uses graphic violence to punish anyone who questions its worldview. The movie treats mass murder as entertainment and ideological punishment for activism and progressive values.
