Underground railroad

The trio quickly went underground, hiding in a friend’s house in their home city of Vladivostok, in Russia’s Far East, while seeking a way to escape the country and potentially lengthy prison sentences. That brought them to a group called In Transit, part of an extensive underground railroad that is rescuing hundreds of Russians who have been targeted for expressing opposition to the invasion of Ukraine or even sympathy for Ukrainian refugees.

The supporting players include Regina Hall as Deandra, one of the original French 75, and Benicio Del Toro as Sensei Sergio St. Carlos, a martial-arts instructor who helps run an underground railroad for migrants.
