In the oppressive atmosphere of Stalinist Russia, where the state declares crime a capitalist disease, war hero Leo Demidov Tom Hardy faces a terrifying dilemma. When a series of child murders surfaces, echoing a pattern the government desperately denies, his loyalty to the system is shattered. Demidov, aided by his resilient wife Raisa Noomi Rapace, embarks on a perilous investigation that pits him against his ambitious rival Vasili Joel Kinnaman and the entire Soviet apparatus. Directed by Daniel Espinosa with a screenplay by Richard Price, this tense thriller from producer Ridley Scott follows a man racing against a faceless killer and a paranoid state that would rather bury the truth than admit its existence. As Demidov delves deeper, he must navigate a web of suspicion where trust is a liability and uncovering the secret could cost him everything.
