\n\t\t\t\t\tRyan Reynolds and Sir Kenneth Branagh Cold War comedy is an ode to 1980s buddy movies.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh team up in Apple TV movie Mayday, a genre-bending, buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head.<\/p>\n
When hot shot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy \u201cAssassin\u201d 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\u2019s toast \u2013 but could an unlikely alliance between the two lead to Troy\u2019s rescue, and a bond neither saw coming?<\/p>\n
The film by writers \/ directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein also features Marcin Dorocinski, Maria Bakalova, and David Morse.<\/p>\n
John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein said, \u201cThe buddy films of the 1980\u2019s were a bizarre and enticing blend of humour, danger and genuine heart. \u2018Mayday\u2019 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
