STEEL SCORPION is an incredibly unique take on the spy thriller/historical drama genres. It blends elements of war, adventure and espionage with themes of romance, faith and regret. The globetrotting nature of Tobal's journey and the ever present menace of Stalin's purges help give a historical scale to what is actually a very relatable story of love, revenge and jealousy. If Steel Scorpion could successfully humanize a member of Stalin’s secret police and find a way to get audiences to root for him, it would be a great accomplishment in storytelling.
