Runaway is a 2010 American musical short film directed by Kanye West.
It serves as the music video for a compilation of songs from West's album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, released that same year. It is inspired by other musical films such as Purple Rain, Pink Floyd – The Wall and Michael Jackson's Thriller and painters Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Directors Federico Fellini and Stanley Kubrick as well as fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld are also direct inspirations. The film depicts a romantic relationship between a man and a half-woman, half-phoenix, and is set to music by West from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
