Movie Synopsis
The Dark Web
After escaping the unimaginable, three women are hunted by a darkness that never logs off.
The Dark Web is a hard-hitting Indian thriller that follows Lena, Priya, and Mili — three women who survive the brutal world of online human trafficking orchestrated through a shadowy Red Room. After a daring escape, they flee with 314 stolen Bitcoins, hoping to rebuild their lives and erase the digital nightmare behind them.
But the dark web doesn’t forget.
Far from being safe, their stolen fortune turns them into targets. The syndicate — a global network of traffickers, mercenaries, and coders — unleashes its elite tracker, Jacqui, to find them. Haunted by trauma and unable to trust even the law, the trio must rely on each other as they’re forced to cross borders, identities, and moral lines to stay alive.
Their journey becomes a cat-and-mouse chase through secret safehouses, encrypted communications, and violent traps set across cities. The women use their tech knowledge and emotional strength not just to survive — but to dismantle the very system that tried to erase them.
Set against the chilling backdrop of real-world cybercrime and digital slavery, The Dark Web is the first Indian film to portray the Red Room on screen, and one of the few to explore Bitcoin crime, human trafficking, and the psychology of survival.
Written by James Bright and directed by Girish Vaikom, this multilingual film is a tense, emotional, and unflinching look at the dark side of modern technology — and the courage it takes to fight back.
