Plumbum, or Dangerous Game | DRAMA | English subtitles

Meet Ruslan Chutko—a fifteen-year-old with the face of a child and the ruthless mind of a vigilante. Nicknamed "Plumbum" (Latin for lead), he is driven by an obsessive desire for absolute order. Infiltrating the city's underworld, he hunts down petty criminals with chilling, detached precision.

But as his "dangerous game" intensifies, the line between justice and cruelty vanishes. Ruslan’s crusade turns him into a cold manipulator, treating human lives like pawns. When his obsession begins to crush even those closest to him, a haunting question remains: When justice becomes a fanaticism, who draws the line between hero and monster?

This Mosfilm cult classic is a gripping psychological thriller about the loss of innocence and the dark side of uncompromising idealism.
