Pretty Lethal is a 2026 action thriller directed by Vicky Jewson and written by Kate Freund. The film stars Iris Apatow, Lana Condor, Millicent Simmonds, Avantika, Maddie Ziegler, and Uma Thurman. It follows a dysfunctional ballet troupe forced to take shelter when their bus breaks down en route to a major competition. When a gang of armed men targets them, the dancers must use their training to fight back.

The score, composed by Paul Leonard-Morgan, was recorded with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Glasgow. It blends lush orchestral textures with driving electronic elements, mirroring the film’s mix of action and dance. A standout is the original ballet sequence, a two-and-a-half-minute piece crafted precisely to match choreography.
