For a Russian nuclear-plant worker facing certain death after being exposed to a lethal dose of radiation, his wife and son's future is worth stealing for--even if it's the most dangerous substance on earth. HBO Films presents this gripping thriller that tells the story of Timofey (Paddy Considine) who lives in 1995 post-Soviet Russia, and labors under substandard conditions in a deteriorating power plant. Exposed to a deadly dose of radiation and made a scapegoat for the disaster, Timofey steals a small amount of Pu-239--weapons-grade plutonium--and heads for Moscow to attempt to sell it on the black market with help from an inept wannabe gangster. Oscar Isaac and Radha Mitchell co-star. Written for the screen and directed by Scott Z. Burns; based on the short story by Ken Kalfus.
