In the darkly comedic drama "Pu-239," directed by Scott Burns and Ken Kalfus, a desperate Russian nuclear plant worker's life unravels after a catastrophic accident leaves him fatally irradiated. With little time left and a family to provide for, he makes a perilous decision to steal a small amount of weapons-grade plutonium to sell on Moscow's treacherous black market. His path crosses with a struggling, disillusioned businessman, pulling them both into a dangerous underworld where their fates become inextricably linked. The film features a compelling ensemble cast including Radha Mitchell, Paddy Considine, Oscar Isaac, Danya Baryshnikov, and Nikolaj Lie Kaas, alongside Steven Berkoff, Melanie Thierry, Jason Flemyng, and Jordan Long. Written by Scott Burns, this R-rated tale blends tension and bleak humor across its 97-minute runtime, exploring the devastating human consequences born from a crumbling system.
