Directed by Vicky Jewson and written by Kate Freund, Pretty Lethal (originally titled Ballerina Overdrive) is a high-octane 2026 action thriller that blends the elegance of dance with brutal survival.The film follows a dysfunctional troupe of five American ballerinas—played by Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Millicent Simmonds, and Avantika—whose bus breaks down in the Hungarian wilderness while en route to a major competition.Forced to seek shelter at a sinister roadside inn run by a reclusive former prima ballerina (Uma Thurman), the girls find themselves trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse against a ruthless criminal syndicate.Produced by 87North (John Wick, Nobody), this Prime Video original features "ballet-fu" choreography where the dancers weaponize their discipline and pointe shoes to fight for their lives, making it a must-watch for fans of stylized, female-led action cinema and gritty ensemble thrillers.
