Black Lightning (2009) Synopsis

In 2004 Moscow, and wealthy entrepreneur Kuptsov drills deep beneath the city, trying to reach a huge diamond vein. Aware that his ruthless drilling will destroy the city and its denizens, it's a result he's willing to accept for untold additional wealth. Fortunately, his equipment lacks enough power. He needs the Nano-catalyst (developed years ago) to fuel his machinery, but its current whereabouts is unknown. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, college boy Dima dreams of owning a car and dating gorgeous co-ed Nastya. His wealthy friend Max has a Mercedes Benz and is flirting with Nastya, which frustrates Dima. On his birthday, Dima finally gets a car (from his parents): a grungy, antiquated Volga of which he is privately ashamed. What he doesn't know: the car, the recipient of "failed" Nano-catalysis, is capable of so more and turns Dima into Black Lightning, crusader of justice.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
