Plot of the film "Athena"
There was real chaos on the streets of a small town. Ordinary residents died in constant firefights, as there were merciless incessant street battles. And the reason for this was an accident - the death of a child. It was believed that he became an accidental victim of the police. After that, the relatives, namely the two older brothers, began to seek justice. Before this tragedy, the relatives practically did not communicate, as there had been numerous betrayals in the past. But the death of his younger brother united the whole family. One of the brothers, a former policeman, after learning about the tragedy, persuaded the middle brother, an ordinary student, to get even with the offenders. Together they gathered a group of people. Who first of all attacked the nearest police building and burned it to the ground. And ordinary visitors and policemen were beaten half to death. After that, the whole group of people was put on the wanted list and charged. But the police forces were not enough to eliminate the popular revolt. At the same time, any arguments regarding the innocence of law enforcement officers in the death of his younger brother were not enough. And the riot intensified every day and took even more lives of innocent citizens. How will the story end? Will the brothers be able to get even for the death of their younger brother and find the real culprit?
