"A film about broccoli gone AWOL? Yeah, you can do that." Runway Studios plays the entire Vietnam-war-movie canon with produce: a four-minute epic whose chapter cards, Storming the Beetchhead, Death of a Salad Man, pack seven decades of war-film references into a lunchbox.

The joke is the demonstration. Every trope the genre owns lands intact when the cast is vegetables, which is the point Runway's in-house studio keeps making: the models are fluent enough in film language that genre itself is a prompt. Released two weeks after [Rules of Horse](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/rules-of-horse/) went viral, it's the platform's marketing arm operating as a comedy studio with an infinite props department.
