Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire will Run Hide Fight thrice for ICE

The Daily Wire is tripling down on running, hiding, and fighting. In fact, they're running and hiding to quietly shoot what might as well be a third movie in its actively racist and roundly disliked action series Run Hide Fight.

Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire will Run Hide Fight thrice for ICE

The Daily Wire is set to release three films focused on the Trump administration's handling of immigration, specifically ICE. The first, "Run Hide Fight," is an action movie that imagines a scenario where pro-Palestine college students face ISIS. The second, "Pawn Shop," is a planned film based on the 2026 ICE insurgency in Minnesota, which reportedly killed Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

The working title for this film is "Pawn Shop." The third film is not yet named but is expected to continue the series' focus on immigration and enforcement.

"Run Hide Fight" features a character named Melanie, described as a fat, blue-haired NPR listener. She is killed in the film shortly after being shot by an ICE agent. The script reimagines her death to justify her killing more concretely.

The production of "Pawn Shop" is currently taking place in Livingston, Montana, where locals have not been very welcoming. They have protested the shoot and even honked car horns to disrupt it. One local expressed their displeasure, stating that they want the production to know they don't want it in their town.

The Daily Wire has previously released two action movies. The first, "Run Hide Fight," is a school-shooter shoot-em-up that adopts the Mark Wahlberg 9/11 ethos. The second, "Run Hide Fight: Infidels," is an Islamophobic action movie starring Jonathan Majors. Its release has been criticized for its racist and homophobic content.
