DIRECTORS QUOTE
“The buddy films of the 1980’s were a bizarre and enticing blend of humor, danger, and genuine heart. ‘Mayday’ is our ode to this genre, with the unlikely pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Sir Kenneth Branagh in a Cold War adventure that explores what it means to be patriotic, but ultimately what it means to be human.”— John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein
THE PREMISE
Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh team up in “Mayday,” a genre-bending, action-packed buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head. When hotshot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Reynolds) 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 (Branagh), 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?
BEHIND THE CAMERAS
An Apple Original Film hailing from Skydance Media, “Mayday” is co-directed, written, and produced by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Produced by Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Don Granger, and Maximum Effort’s Ashley Fox and Johnny Pariseau. Executive producers are Maximum Effort’s Ryan Reynolds and George Dewey, alongside John G. Scotti.
Mayday will premiere globally on Apple TV on September 4th.
