Lola better get some new sneakers.

Sony Pictures Classics has announced it will re-release Tom Tykwer‘s 1999 German action classic Run Lola Run, in a new 4K restored version, in U.S. cinemas this summer, timed to the 25th anniversary of the movie’s original domestic bow.

Franka Potente stars as the titular athletic Lola in the film, racing to find 100,000 deutsche marks in time to rescue her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu) who is in deep with a local gangster. Every choice Lola makes, big or small, changes her ultimate fate. The film is told three times, with three separate endings, an approach that recalls video game aesthetics. Herbert Knaup, Joachim Król and Nina Petri co-star.

Run Lola Run was a sensation when it was first released and grossed more than $7 million in the United States and Canada for SPC, becoming one of the highest-grossing non-English-language films ever at that time. The low-budget feature would eventually earn more than $22 million internationally. It launched both Potente and Tykwer’s international careers. She would go on to star alongside Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity. He would team up with the Wachowskis to direct Cloud Atlas.

“Over the past 25 years, Run Lola Run remains one of the most enduring Sony Pictures Classics titles of all time,” SPC said. “It is as timely now as when it first appeared in theaters in 1999. Our nationwide reissue in June is a celebration of this first hi-tech thriller presented as it deserves, to be seen and reseen on the big screen and to continue to dazzle new generations of viewers.”
