Plot Summary
Sergei Kravinoff’s Beginnings Alan Taylor-Johnson’s character, Sergei Kravinoff, a Russian immigrant who grew up in a hunting family, has a troubled past. He was brought up with the belief that the best way to be the best is to hunt the best, thanks to his father Russell Crowe teaching him the sport at an early age.
An Approaching Danger Years later, while out hunting with a fierce companion, Sergei comes across an enigmatic group that threatens the fragile balance of nature. This group, headed by the mysterious Gregory Smithe (Christopher Abbott), is engineering genetically modified predators with the goal of taking over the planet. It becomes apparent what Sergei must do to stop them in order to preserve the natural order.
Both allies and adversaries Together with Alexei (Fred Hechinger), his estranged brother who knows secrets about their family’s past, and Calypso (Ariana DeBose), a mysterious shaman with a strong connection to nature, Sergei forms a team. Alessandro Nivola’s ferocious hunter Dimitri Smerdyakov and Levi Miller’s crafty scientist Dr. Vladimir Markov are just two of the many obstacles they must overcome.
The Final Chase Each genetically altered beast that Sergei encounters while tracking down Smithe is operation is more lethal than the last. His hunt takes him through a variety of environments, including urban jungles and deep forests. He is forced to face his own limitations and the real meaning of being a hunter in a dramatic battle that tests his abilities and resolve.
Atonement and Ancestry In the end, Sergei learns that balance and reverence for the natural world are more important to being the best hunter than taking down prey. He makes a commitment to uphold his family’s name by using his abilities to defend rather than harm.
