Blackmark

In 1963, military industrialist Arthur Blackmark and a Soviet commander must race against the clock to stop an international nuclear incident which threatens to fire up the Cold War and end the world. An unkown entity has hacked into a Soviet missile and aimed it at the United States. With just minutes before Mutually Assured Destruction, an American military industrialist and a Soviet nuclear commander race against the clock to prevent a nation from nuclear annihilation. Unbeknownst to them his threat is just the beginning of an even bigger crisis - one that will change the course of history forever. "Blackmark" is the first feature length film to tackle the Cold War from the perspective of the military industrial complex. The film is an origin story, showing the massive power and influence these companies have had over the course of modern history. It's a genre-defying, high-tension thriller in the vein of Michael Mann and Neal Stephenson, steeped in the paranoia and fear of global politics, reminiscent of classic thrillers "Seven Days in May" and "The Hunt for Red October." Agent Larson interviews the dissident Anya Popolovski to know the whereabouts of former CIA Agent Timothy Daniels. She tells that in 1963, a Soviet missile is sent to the United States to begin a nuclear war. Daniels, who has been living in the Soviet Union for more than five years, succeeds in destroying the missile in the last minute. Nikita Khrushchev claims that his system was hacked and demands USA to withdraw missiles from Turkey in 72 hrs.. Meanwhile, Daniel, who was assigned to assassinate Anya's father, Commander Alexi Popolovski, receives a counter-order to bring his family and he to the United States. However, the grey eminence Arthur Blackmark, who is a military industrialist, is manipulating the situation and plans to assassinate of President Kennedy to stop the crisis. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
