Hardcore Henry is a 2015 Russian-american science-fiction action thriller film that was written and directed by Ilya Naishuller (in his feature directorial debut), and produced by Timur Bekmambetov, Naishuller, Inga Vainshtein Smith, and Ekaterina Kononenko. Will Stewart provided additional writing for the film. The film is notable for being shot entirely from the first-person perspective of its lead character.
It stars Sharlto Copley, Danila Kozlovsky, Haley Bennett, and Tim Roth. The film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, and was released theatrically in Russia on April 7, 2016 by Mirsand. It would then be released in the United States the next day on April 8 by STX Entertainment.
It garnered mixed reviews in the United States, but was more positively received in Russia. Despite grossing $16.8 million worldwide against a $2 million budget, it was considered a box-office bomb in the US, due to global rights and marketing for the film.
Synopsis
A man wakes up in a Moscow laboratory to learn that he's been brought back from the dead as a half-human, half-robotic hybrid. With no memory of his former life, a woman who claims to be his wife tells him that his name is Henry. Before she can activate his voice, armed thugs storm in and kidnap her. As Henry starts to understand his new abilities, he embarks on a bloody rampage through the city to save his spouse from a psychopath (Danila Kozlovsky) who plans to destroy the world.
