Sarik Garnikovich Andreasyan (Russian: Сарик Гарникович Андреасян; Armenian: Սարիկ Գառնիկի Անդրեասյան; born 24 August 1984; Yerevan) is a Russian-Armenian director, producer, and screenwriter who has worked on films and commercials. He is the founder of Enjoy Movies. In May 2017, Andreasyan left Enjoy Movies studio to start another studio, Bolshoe Kino (Big Movies in Russian). In 2020, the Andreasyan brothers left Bolshoe Kino studio and founded K.B.A. studio. His early movies were mostly low-budget comedies. However, since 2015, Sarik began to move towards science fiction, action and dramas. Most of Andreasyan's films were met with negative critical reception in Russian media, according to review aggregators Kritikanstvo and Megacritic. Notable exceptions are the drama Earthquake and anthology film duology Moms, that received more positive reviews. Only two movies by Andreasyan were rated by Rotten Tomatoes, both American Heist and Guardians have a "rotten" rating. His early comedies, such as The Pregnant ($8.3M Gross), Moms ($7.8M Gross), What Men Do! ($11.3M Gross), were commercial hits. Andreasyan's recent high-budget movies, however, are considered box office bombs, according to various Russian media. This includes American Heist, Mafia: The Game of Survival, and Guardians. Andreasyan's disaster drama film Earthquake was selected as the Armenian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards, but was disqualified by the Academy.
The movie is about people who survived the atomic war. Almost all the action takes place in the Moscow metro (the world's largest nuclear shelter, which can serve as an underground city), whose stations and passageways are inhabited by people. Thanks to efficient civil defense, the metro network was protected from radioactive contamination - almost all the stations have sealed gates and activated radiation and water purification filters. All indications are that at the time of Moscow's annihilation about 70,000 people could have taken refuge in the metro. Twenty years after the atomic war, the metro is inhabited by 50,000 people. Only half the stations are populated - some have been abandoned, many have been consumed by fires or cut off by tunnel collapses. The movie is based on the novel series by Dmitry Glukhovsky.
