The unlikely hero of the film is Alexey, a fireman at the power station. He is accompanied by Valery, an engineer, and Boris, a military diver, on a perilous mission to drain water from a reservoir under the burning reactor. They have no time for proper planning; water in the flooded corridors they will have to traverse is getting hotter by the hour as the molten reactor core seeps ever closer. Prepared to sacrifice their own lives in order to prevent an even greater catastrophe, the three men descend into the depths of the reactor building.

Bandit Queen

1 hr 59 mins

The movie tells the story of bandit queen Phoolan Devi, who was sent to prison in 1983 and released in 1994. For five years she was prosecuted by the Indian police and turned into a legend (like a modern Robin Hood) by the Indian press. Although the press tended to make her the optimal tall, beautiful heroine with blue eyes and dark hair, she was actually average in height and looks, which makes it hard for the film to fulfill audience expectations and tell the truth at the same time. Devi entered into politics later in her life; she was assassinated in 2001.
