Mayday

A friendship with major red flags.

Directed by Jonathan Goldstein, John Francis Daley

FilmDrops says

Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh star in Mayday, an action comedy about a downed pilot and ex-KGB agent, premiering on Apple TV .

When hotshot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly is sent on a top-secret mission into Russian territory at the height of the Cold War, the operation implodes, leaving him stranded behind enemy lines. Discovered by Nikolai Ustinov, a gruff ex-KGB agent with a penchant for American culture, Troy thinks he’s toast — but could an unlikely alliance between the two lead to Troy’s rescue and a bond neither saw coming?
