In the throes of World War II, Flight Officer Maude Garrett (Chloë Grace Moretz) joins the all-male crew of a B-17 bomber with a top-secret package. Caught off guard by the presence of a woman on a military flight, the crew tests Maude’s every move. Just as her quick wit is winning them over, strange happenings and holes in her backstory incite paranoia surrounding her true mission. But this crew has more to fear…lurking in the shadows, something sinister is tearing at the heart of the plane. Trapped between an oncoming air ambush and an evil lurking within, Maude must push beyond her limits to save the hapless crew and protect her mysterious cargo.
Says Bridgman-Cooper: “I loved composing this score, I love working with Roseanne….she’s not afraid of anything. When she asked me to think about how an 80’s synth soundtrack might work against a WWII Alien vs Indiana Jones mashup, I knew I was going to be in for a ride. The challenge was sticking to a synth-based palette while still being able to bring out the witchy feminist superpower of Maude and her imperfections. The end result is a juxtaposition of 80’s nostalgia against a WWII setting…with a gremlin thrown in. It pours fuel on the fire that is this wonderfully bonkers adventure.”
