Pranker

Description

This drama-thriller treats prank work as a form of investigation and then examines the legal and practical consequences when those methods are used in high-stakes disputes. Rather than presenting pranks as comic set pieces, the film shows the planning, staged identities, intercepted calls and the technical steps that produce publishable evidence, and it traces how those same practices create vulnerabilities. The film premiered in 2026. When a man who builds a reputation by staging hoaxes and releasing covert recordings becomes entangled in a corporate rivalry, the escalation is procedural: staged meetings turn into confrontations, leaked files spark negotiations between competing businesses, and a targeted threat turns attention to his family. The screenplay follows concrete actions — the fabrication of aliases, the circulation of audio and the tactical choices the protagonist makes to shield a sibling without resolving the final outcome. The cast includes Aleksey Serebryakov, Maksim Matveev, Kristina Kucherenko and Yury Chulkov.
