Henry, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN, and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is Jimmy, who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore Henry takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia.

The protagonist is relentlessly hunted by a squad of black-suited mercenaries across buildings, rooftops, snowy mountains, and a decommissioned airplane, all while trying to recover a strange device. The short film went viral, racking up over 150 million views online, and inspired the 2015 full-length first-person action feature film, Hardcore Henry.
