High Security Vacation (2009): Cast, Box Office & Plot

Viktor Sumarokov, nicknamed Sumrak, is an experienced thief-recidivist who holds real authority among the prisoners, portrayed by Sergei Bezrukov. When a careless moment leads to the injury of a venal colleague, the prison system turns to Yevgeny Koltsov, a former Ministry of Internal Affairs operative and a well-deserved hero from Chechnya, to confront the danger.

Lieutenant colonel Vyshkin, Vladimir Menshov, the penitentiary chief, arrives with a clear request: protect Koltsov from the menacing threats within the zone. The plan to shield Koltsov sets off a dangerous chain of moves as the ringleader’s closest aide learns of Vyshkin’s intent. To secure Koltsov’s protection, the aide uses the promise of an early release to persuade another inmate authority, Shaman, to spark a riot and remove Koltsov, aiming to undermine Vyshkin.
