Synopsis
Hostage (Zalozhnik, 2026) is a tense drama you can watch online on iFILM. Moscow, 2014. Maxim Pozharsky is a financial analyst who makes rich men richer and takes his own cut without asking awkward questions. Then one question he can't buy his way out of lands on his doorstep.
Nina, the one person he truly loves, vanishes in the Middle East and ends up a captive. Money — Maxim's usual answer to everything — buys him nothing this time. So he goes himself, into a Syria torn apart by larger powers fighting over oil and leverage. Near the border, insurgents seize him, and to stay alive he strikes a dangerous bargain with a militant commander named Said. The skills he once used in trading floors now serve someone else's war.
Directed by Sergey Popov and Rustam Mosafir, the series fields an international cast led by Maxim Matveev, with Russian, Arab and Turkish actors sharing the screen. The more millions Maxim earns for strangers, the less he understands who is bleeding here, or why. A hard, 18+ watch for anyone who likes a protagonist sinking ever deeper.
