Mafia: Survival Game

The action takes place in 2072 in Moscow. The game “Mafia” is a global phenomenon, now the most popular TV show ever. Each year, eleven fearless volunteers, representatives of all walks of life, come together to find out who the innocent civilian is and who the ruthless Mafia is. The game, the outcome of which determines who to live and who to die.

The game has a translator in which participants die after visualizing the fear of the next victim. The following players enter the game: Luka Sergeevich (billionaire), Ilya (cancer patient), Krivoy (prisoner), Ivan (prisoner, unfairly convicted), Vladimir (military officer), Katya (children's home), Larisa (alcoholic), Kirill (desperate debater), Constantine (“visionary”, worker of the game “Mafia”), Maria (former ballerina), Peter (Maria's admirer). Prisoners as a prize receive freedom, and the rest - 1 billion rubles (for all winners).

At the beginning of the computer assigns roles so that only the player himself knows who he is. Players are divided into civilians (9 people) and the mafia (2 people). Players introduce themselves, then the first vote of civilians begins, in which they must choose who they consider the mafia: 6 participants vote for Maria, a civilian, although Peter protested and tried in vain to convince everyone that he is the mafia and save Maria ( games cannot leave their playing places). Maria is afraid of rain, thunderstorms and lightning, and dies in a translator in the woods during rain from a lightning strike, jumping from a cliff. It is night in the city. At night, the mafia kills Krivogo (civilian). Krivoy is afraid of dying “Lohome”, goes to the Translator, wins several opponents in a fierce hand-to-hand fight, stumbles, falls headfirst onto the armature and dies. The next day, on the second ballot of the inhabitants, 6 members vote for Peter, a civilian. Peter as a child was afraid of water and perishes in the translator in the ocean surrounded by sharks. After the death of three civilians in a row, an extraordinary vote begins, with 5 votes cast by Vladimir, a civilian. Vladimir developed post-war syndrome, he again and again relives his military mistakes resulting in the death of young recruits. In the broadcaster, Vladimir experiences the death of his squad in a war and dies himself in a shootout. At night, the mafia chooses Larisa (civilian). Larisa admits that during the trial, Ivan falsely testified against him. Larisa is afraid of heights and flights, and perishes in an airplane crash in unnaturally huge turbulence. In the next voting of civilians, the participants disagree, which is why the re-vote from the last round takes place, on it 4 participants (including Konstantin) choose Konstantin, the mafia. Constantine is afraid of dying of old age. In the translator, he dies an old man, but says that he has changed the course of the game and the mafia will end. At night, the mafia gets rid of Ivan. Ivan is afraid to die in prison and in the Translator he is shot in prison. In the next voting, the inhabitants of the 4 participants cannot decide anything, the time for voting expires and the computer randomly selects the victim: Katya, a civilian. But Kirill, who met Katya the day before the game, gets out of the chair (it turns out that the Organizer asked the assistants to reprogram his chair), jumps onto Katya’s chair and goes with her to the translator. In the translator, they first encounter Katya's fears: height, desert, snakes. Then they defeat a huge glowing monster and get into the office of the Organizer "Mafia". Further, according to the rules of the remaining one civilian and one mafia, the mafia wins.

The organizer tells Kirill and Kate his plan for this game: he managed the game for a more spectacular finale and upgrades to the game, which after fifty-six seasons have fallen greatly; Constantine also went to the game to destroy it. He saves the lives of Cyril (civilian) and Kate. Luka Sergeevich (a civilian) and Ilya (the mafia, the winner), who passed through the finals, survive and return home. In the end, Cyril is recorded for the next game to defeat the mafia.

The film was negatively received by the press ^{[2] [3]} . They wrote about him: “Sarik with Enjoy Movies even broke through its own bottom - it was unprofitable, helpless and simply ashamed” (KG-Portal ^[4] ), “even by modest Russian cinema standards, the result is unsatisfactory” (“25 frame” ^{[5 ]} ), “Dialogues consist of such monstrous platitudes that it is painful and embarrassing to listen to them” (Kinokadr ^[6] ). Among the few publications that have responded positively about the film was Film.ru , which wrote: “Thanks to its bright idea, high-quality visual embodiment and dynamics, the picture is worthy of the audience’s attention” ^[7] .
