When a Russian anthropologist disappears beneath the city of Moscow, the rescue team assigned the task of tracking him down makes a most unusual discovery in this subterranean thriller starring Vincent Gallo and Val Kilmer. Deep beneath the city of Moscow dwells a group of people who have grown tired of life on the surface. They exist in a complex, multilevel system of caves and catacombs. When a rescue team descends beneath the city in search of a missing anthropologist, they are shocked to discover the underground city, and come face to face with the man who serves as their leader (Kilmer).
