His family's future depends on one unstable element.

If there was an accident, and you only had days to live... how far would you go to ensure your family's future?

The gripping, HBO Films dramatic thriller Pu-239 tells the story of Timofey (Paddy Considine, The Bourne Ultimatum), a nuclear-power plant worker in 1995 post-Soviet Russia. Exposed to a deadly dose of radiation while trying to avert a plant disaster, Timofey learns that authorities lied about the extent of his exposure, and that he has only a few days to live. Desperate to provide security for his wife (Radha Mitchell, Finding Neverland) and son, Timofey steals a small amount of Pu-239 - weapons-grade plutonium - and heads to Moscow with a vial strapped to his body to attempt a quick sale. Amid the "new Russia" criminal background, Timofey races against the clock, grasping his only hope for his family's future - one of the world's most dangerous substances.
