The Death of Stalin The Death of Stalin

Moscow, 1953. When tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies, the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), the dweeby Georgy Malenkov and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria, square off in a frantic struggle for power. But as they bumble, brawl and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? The one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (In the Loop).
