Citizen X, set in the 1980s, is a gripping crime drama that delves into the harrowing pursuit of a notorious serial killer by Soviet authorities. The unidentified killer strategically preys on unsuspecting victims at railway stations and commuter trains before leading them to the desolate woods, leaving a trail of fear and mystery.

The film follows the intense investigation led by Gennady Moskvin, a forensic expert played by Stephen Rea, who becomes consumed by the pursuit of the elusive murderer. With the backdrop of a repressive Soviet regime, Moskvin faces numerous bureaucratic obstacles and a lack of resources that hinder his progress.
