Run Chrissie Run! (also known as Money Hunters and Moving Targets in the US) is a 1986 Australian action thriller film, directed by Chris Langman. Graham Hartley adapted the script from the novel When We Ran by Keith Leopold.

The film is not connected in any way with the unproduced radio play Run, Chrissie, Run by Fay Weldon.[2]

Plot

Two IRA hitmen are pursuing Riley (Michael Aitkens), because he killed one of their number. Riley is pursuing Eve (Carmen Duncan), a German former terrorist, who is on the run in Australia with her teenage daughter Chrissie (Annie Jones) and the proceeds of an old bank robbery in Germany. The two IRA hitmen, accompanied by an angry biker, track Eve and Chrissie to the Barossa Valley. Riley arrives on the scene in time for an explosive finale.
