A political thriller about the behind-the-scenes rise of Vladimir Putin, THE WIZARD OF THE KREMLIN stars Paul Dano, Alicia Vikander, and Jude Law.

In the early 1990’s, the aftermath of the USSR’s collapse made Russia both a space of chaos and filled with opportunity. In this new world, a young artist-turned-TV producer, Vadim Baranov (Dano), unexpectedly becomes the spin doctor of a promising member of the FSB (ex-KGB), Vladimir Putin (Law). Together, with Baranov’s skill for constructing narrative and Putin’s calculated methodology, the pair blur the boundaries between truth and lies to manipulate and control the unruly nation.
