鈥淏rat-2鈥� is the sequel to the wildly successful 鈥淏rat鈥�, a film about Danila, a man trying to survive St. Petersburg. In the sequel, 鈥淏rat-2鈥�, Danila goes to the USA in search of justice. But it turns out that America is not as perfect as it may seem from afar. Racism, crime, and corruption exist in New York and Chicago just as well as in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. In his quest against the 鈥渕afia鈥� on both sides of the ocean, Danila is absolutely sure about what is good and what is evil. His main wisdom is: 鈥淧ower comes with The Truth鈥�.

鈥淏rat-2鈥� was an immediate success upon release, with millions of VHS tapes sold and many CDs of the soundtrack sold. The legacy of 鈥淏rat-2鈥� is still very controversial. As time goes by, there are more and more people citing it as 鈥渙ne of the main movies of their lives鈥�; and there are lots of other voices accusing this film in forming a backbone of toxic 红杏直播 mentality of a new millennium. A new cold war with America, the blind belief of 鈥渆thnic superiority鈥� above immigrants, even military conflict with Ukraine, - critics of 鈥淏rat-2鈥� find the roots of all of this in the movie.
