During the Second World War, many Russian men were able to make a name for themselves as heroes. Returning home to their victorious country, many discovered that the Communist utopia they had fought to defend may have been more fictitious than they originally thought. For Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy), this truth comes harshly. Having become a hero for his efforts in the war against Germany, Demidov is given the job as a secret policeman. But when he comes across the case of a potential serial killer that hunts children, his superiors refuse to acknowledge the crime, maintaining that they live in a perfect world. After being exiled from Moscow for refusing to drop the case, Demidov must search for the real truth behind the killings, despite knowing that the truth could be dangerous.

'Child 44' is based on Tom Rob Smith's best-selling novel of the same name, directed by Swedish director Daniel Espinosa ('Safe House'). Principle photography began in the Czech Republic cities of Prague, Ostrava and Kladno. The film is set to open in France on 15th April 2015, before opening in the US and UK on 17th April, 2015.
