An action film depicting the fight against “Islamist terrorism”.
A Russian oligarch living in exile in a luxury villa in the west is determined
to take revenge on his homeland, and tries to blackmail members of the
FSB, the successor of the KGB, with manipulated videos. He spends even
more time conspiring with Arabian “Ansar-Allah” terrorists,

pile of rubble. However, Major Smolin of the FSB succeeds in averting
