32岁的俄罗斯人伊利亚·奈舒勒并非科班出身，原来是玩音乐的，曾组建过一支庞克乐队叫做“Biting Elbows”，差不多两年前他为乐队拍摄了一支MV叫做“Bad Motherfucker”放到了Youtube上，结果获得几千万的播放量，一炮而红。
于是导演众筹25万美元，促成了完全第一人称视角的长片《硬核亨利》的诞生。

Henry, a newly resurrected cyborg who must save his wife/creator from the clutches of a psychotic tyrant with telekinetic powers, AKAN, and his army of mercenaries. Fighting alongside Henry is Jimmy, who is Henry's only hope to make it through the day. Hardcore Henry takes place over the course of one day, in Moscow, Russia.
