Mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg: Die Air-Force-Pilotin Maude Garrett wird beauftragt, einen Koffer mit streng geheimem Inhalt zu befördern und sich dafür an Bord einer B-17 Flying Fortress zu begeben. Die rein männliche Besatzung ist über die Anwesenheit der jungen Frau nicht begeistert und verweist sie auf den Platz im kugelförmigen Waffenturm am Rumpf des Bombers. Von dort aus beobachtet sie eigenartige Schatten an den Tragflächen und sichtet feindliche Kampfflieger zwischen den Wolken. Doch die Männer nehmen ihre Warnungen nicht ernst. Erst als es Maude gelingt, einen gegnerischen Luftangriff mit dem eingebauten Maschinengewehr abzuwehren, beginnt die Crew, die wahre Identität der unerwünschten Passagierin zu hinterfragen. Doch die misstrauischen Kollegen sollen nicht ihr einziges Problem bleiben: An Bord der Flying Fortress macht sich eine unheimliche Kreatur an den Geräten zu schaffen und attackiert die Besatzung. Maude setzt nun alles daran, um ihre wertvolle Fracht zu schützen.

The sad thing is Chloe has an amazing acting ability but she's been cast in some really shit films. To me, 'Shadow in the Cloud,' is a film that has no sense of direction or purpose. It was all over the place by starting off like a realistic historical fiction then randomly some sort of fantasy/mythical creatures showed up - not to mention the unrealistic way Chloe's character was able to climb around a moving plane. Then, probably the most unrealistic thing, was how the main character fell into an exploding plane but somehow survived. What the fuck? This had a good premise, good acting from Chloe. Apart from that there wasn't much to get excited about.
This might be one of the most entertaining things I’ve ever seen. Simply stupendously sensational stuff. 'Shadow in the Cloud' is bonkers, I had a blast watching it. There were no rejected ideas in the writers room, that’s for certain! I'm glad to see that this hasn't been slaughtered via reviews; at least not to the level I was expecting. It’s utter madness and I’m fully here for it, the amount of craziness they fit into less than 80 or so minutes is nuts; the special effects - aside from the iffy end fight, granted - is neat for a production of this standing. Chloë Grace Moretz legit gives a great performance, easily her best that I’ve currently seen. The rest of the cast fit their roles well, with the radio comms made great use of for large portions for the cast behind Moretz. I thought it’d get boring being so talky at the beginning, but it never did. Immense rewatchability to this, I’ll no doubt be revisiting it. It makes absolutely zero sense, like whatsoever, but it might be the best 'switch off your brain' flick out there. No joke. It's unashamedly stupid and I kinda love it; you definitely can't deny its originality either!
There’s a 20 or 30 minute section of Moretz, alone on screen, communicating to the other characters via radio and totally powerless, that’s just fantastic. I thought I was going to watch a full length film version of her desperately trying to complete her mission while disembodied voices grow more and more paranoid. That was not what happened.
I honestly wasn’t expecting much nor did I know anything about it, but I absolutely loved it. From early in the film, I found it gripping and tense which kept me glued to the screen. There’s a lot going on in this film and I see some have called it a mess, however I thought it all worked really well together. Just don’t read too much in to it and enjoy it for what it is. I especially loved watching the old footage during the credits at the end. As a family we watch a lot of WW history and real footage, but I’d never seen any of that before. Without being sexist or trying to be a feminist etc, it’s rare to see footage of woman contributing during the WW’s and it was amazing to see. Excellent film, definitely worth watching
Its not in category of movies like Shark attack or Hurricane Sharks because they where funny this one is full of empty dialogos shallow plot and kids cant learn anything from it.
