Archangel is a thrilling mini-series from Fireworks International, released in 2005. Starring the iconic Daniel Craig as the protagonist, the show takes viewers on a nail-biting journey through post-Soviet Russia, as Craig's character travels to uncover the truth about a mysterious document that could change the course of history.

Craig plays Professor Fluke Kelso, a historian and expert on Stalin era Russia, who arrives in Moscow to attend a conference. He is immediately approached by a beautiful journalist, and former student, named Zinaida Volkova, played by Yekaterina Rednikova. Volkova reveals that she has information regarding an unknown, potentially damaging, document that was signed by Stalin himself, which has mysteriously disappeared. Volkova hopes that Kelso will help her find this document and expose it to the world.

As the two begin their search, they find themselves being chased by secret agents and government officials, who will stop at nothing to ensure that the document is never found. Along the way, they enlist the help of a former military officer, played by Gabriel Macht, who has his own agenda in finding the document.

The show is a thrilling mix of espionage, danger, and intrigue, as Kelso, Volkova, and the military officer work together to uncover the truth behind the document. Archangel takes place in the era of post-Soviet Russia, where uncertainty and mistrust are rampant. The political climate is ripe for lies and corruption, and the characters must navigate this dangerous landscape to find the truth.

One of the most impressive aspects of the show is the way in which the story is told. The narrative is fast-paced and engaging, leaving little time for the viewer to catch their breath. The show's creators skillfully balance action and suspense with character development, creating a cast of complex and multifaceted characters.

Craig is, of course, the standout of the show, delivering a masterful performance as Kelso. He plays the part with a sense of urgency and conviction, leaving the viewer rooting for him even in the most dire of situations. Rednikova also shines as Volkova, with her performance adding a sense of vulnerability and depth to the character. Macht's portrayal of the military officer is equally captivating, adding a layer of danger and intrigue to the show.

The show's setting is also a highlight, with beautiful shots of Moscow and the surrounding landscape. The scenery adds to the tension and drama of the show, creating a sense of realism that draws the viewer in.

Overall, Archangel from Fireworks International is a must-see for anyone who loves a good old-fashioned spy thriller. With a talented cast, captivating story, and beautiful setting, the show delivers on every level. Fans of Daniel Craig will especially appreciate his performance, which solidifies his status as one of the best actors of his generation.
