A nuclear facility technician decides to travel to Moscow with his wife after he has had an accident. The technician searches for work and finds his life intersecting with that of a Russian gangster.
A gripping, dramatic thriller infused with a twist of dark humor, PU-239 reveals the lengths to which a man will go to secure his family's future. While working at a nuclear power plant in Russia, Timofey (Paddy Considine) is exposed to a deadly dose of radiation while trying to aver a plant disaster.
