Produced by Oscar nominated director Sir Ridley Scott (Alien, Thelma and Louise, Gladiator), the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and Noomi Rapace. Child 44 mesmerised Britain’s audiences on its cinematic release, with an action-packed portrayal of murder investigations during the Stalin-era Soviet Union.
Based on the best-selling first novel of the bestselling ‘Child 44’ trilogy by Tom Rob Smith, the film follows a disgraced member of the military police, Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy - The Dark Knight Rises, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), who uncovers evidence of brutal child murders by a serial killer. Demidov has to work against the all-powerful Soviet government, who deny a murderer could exist in the communist regime’s twisted idea of ‘paradise’, in order to track down the killer before he strikes again.
