Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman reunite for the fourth time in this adaptation of the hit Tom Rob Smith novel set in 1950s Russia.

Synopsis: CHILD 44 stars Tom Hardy as secret police agent Leo Demidov in a gripping thriller set in a Soviet Russia ruled by paranoia and fear.

When he uncovers evidence of a serial killer, Leo must work against the all-powerful Soviet government – who deny the existence of any crime in their twisted idea of ‘paradise’ – to track him down before he strikes again. But how do you find a killer when crime does not exist?
