Washington DC [US], July 14 : The makers has dropped the first trailer for 'Mayday', the upcoming action-buddy-comedy starring Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh ahead of its September 4.
The movie revolves around US Navy pilot Lieutenant played by Reynolds who 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 Kenneth Branagh, a gruff ex-KGB agent with a penchant for American culture, teams up with Reynolds for a dangerous mission.
The trailer began on a humorous note, when Reynolds discovers himself on a bed after suffering a crash from the plane.
"You are now crossing Soviet airspace," a stern voice is heard at the beginning of the trailer. Cut to Reynolds' Kelly tied to a bed. "Oh good, you have not died," says Branagh's Nikolai. "Who are you?", asks Reynolds, adding "Why am I tied to the bed?" Nikolai replies, "So you would not move during the surgery."
"Surgery, what surgery", asks Kelly. "In your leg, I repaired an artery," says Nikolai. "You screamed a lot, but that is my fault, because I don't have proper anesthesia," he admits.
The trailer was full of high octane action scenes which also include a fight scene in a commercial plane.
Ryan Reynolds shared the trailer on his Instagram handle.
