How to get the movie runtime??

Sorry, I am total newbie to web programming. I am planning to write a iOS app to help some of us who try to figure out "How much longer is this movie???" when in cinema. User type in movie title and showtime, app return a countdown showing how much longer is the movie.
Please help! trying to get the a specific movie's runtime first! Can anyone do any example for "Logan", maybe? Should be easier for you experts here. Thanks!!!!

Runtime is currently included as part of the "get details" method.
As an example. You might notice if you are requesting things in a different language it's empty. It's per translation right now with no fallback. This is planned to change later this year.

Yes. There's a help document that runs through the basics of this here.
