The Hero

The Hero (Герой, 2019), directed by Karen Oganesyan, is a Russian spy thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Alexander Petrov, Svetlana Khodchenkova, and Vladimir Mashkov lead a story that starts fifteen years before the opening scene — a classified school where teenagers were trained as foreign intelligence operatives.

Andrey made it through, burned his bridges, and built a quiet life in Europe. Then his father calls — a colonel everyone had written off as dead — and warns him: someone wants him gone, and neither of them knows who. He tracks down Masha, a former classmate from the school, and the two have to outrun a threat neither of them fully understands. Oganesyan keeps the camera on the people rather than the action — which is exactly what makes this one land differently. Stream The Hero online on iFILM.
