Plot Summary

Americans Chris, his girlfriend Natalie and their friend Amanda travel to Europe on vacation. They meet up with Chris' brother Paul living in Kyiv, Ukraine. Chris wants to travel to Moscow to propose to Natalie, but Paul convinces the group to first visit Chernobyl with an extreme tourism guide. They meet the guide Uri and another couple who are also going on the tour. Uri explains that because of the radiation levels he can only take them to Pripyat, a deserted city very near Chernobyl. They travel by van, but are stopped by a military checkpoint that makes them turn back. Not giving up, Uri finds an alternative route to the town. The group spends the day taking photographs and exploring abandoned buildings. Uri becomes nervous and decides it's time to head home. However, the van won't start and they discover the engine was sabotaged. Soon they discover that they are stranded, no one knows they are there and that they are definitely not alone.

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia A few characters remark on how nature has reclaimed Pripyat. In fact, nature has adapted so well to the site that in 1991 researchers found a type of fungus growing in Chernobyl that metabolizes radiation for energy, in much the same way that plants use sunlight. Scientists are using the International Space Station to investigate whether these sorts of fungi can function as a sort of radiation shield in space. See more »
Goofs The soldiers told the group Pripyat was closed for maintenance, which the group took to mean they would have the place to themselves, but which more logically would mean they'd be caught by maintenance workers. And when they heard noises they thought might be other people--both in the housing buildings and outside the van, they never suspected it might be the fabled maintenance workers. See more »
