Market Logline

When the Bear, a veteran grizzly actor, walks off a movie set at an operating airport and commandeers a baggage tug to pursue an untagged pink suitcase bound for Flight 427, his trainer must decode the Bear’s conditioned route before airport security mistakes performance for predation and kills him.

A Bear Ran Into the Airport — Inside the Screenplay

A short audio introduction to the Bear, Howard, and the operating airport that mistakes performance for threat.

The Bear / Off Set

Between calls.
Still booked.

The Bear maintains his own public life between productions. Random Oxygen does not manage it. We do occasionally discover ourselves in it.

Audience Promise

This is absurd.
The film knows it.

The comedy stays straight-faced. The Bear stays physically believable. The pink suitcase remains a genuine emotional mystery rather than a gimmick.
