Black Lightning

• Science Fiction
• Action
• Adventure

Beneath the vibrant, retro-futuristic veneer of 1960s Moscow, a physics student’s inherited automobile unlocks a fantastical secret: the ability to fly. This isn’t a story of a polished, preordained superhero, but a reluctant defender born from a violent family attack, and fueled by a desperate, improvisational spirit. The film distinguishes itself through a whimsical, almost playful tone juxtaposed with genuine stakes as a resourceful amateur grapples with extraordinary power against a calculating industrialist, crafting a uniquely grounded and charming take on the superhero genre while simultaneously exploring the quiet heroism found within everyday life. It’s a visually inventive and surprisingly tender exploration of familial duty, transforming a simple flying car into a symbol of unexpected responsibility and surprising hope.
