Background:
Although this is set in a fictitious ‘enemy’ location, it echoes the circumstances of the Ukraine War.
Comps include Plane, with an emergency landing and the need to escape hostile forces. But with an intelligent crew in a confined environment – this isn’t a shoot-em-up – there’s a similarity to submarine films like Crimson Tide. There’s also a humanistic message, with a female hero clinging to humanity in a ruthless world, like Zero Dark Thirty.
