About To Kill the Scorpion
On a certain remote island within the country, there is a prison zone where inmates are forced to mine ore. In one of the island’s caves, dinosaur bones are discovered. A sophisticated lady from the capital is invited to study the find, and a brave local guard, Sergeant A. Peskov, is assigned to escort her. Meanwhile, a ruthless crime boss known by the fearsome nickname "Scorpion," along with a group of hardened convicts, is secretly plotting an escape from the zone...
Directed by Aleksandr Sorokin, To Kill the Scorpion leans on a strong ensemble — Aleksandr Peskov, Elena Malikova, Vladimir Niskov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1991.
