What it’s about. The action of this story begins in the near future. The great device codenamed as the “Phantom” is invented by the Global Security Corporation in order to eliminate the crime and to establish a secure global community. But, it is not how it really is. The reverse side of the “Phantom” is to establish an absolute control over people’s minds. The Corporation aims to change the course of the history, by gaining the community of obedient “puppets”, who would never realize that their minds are being controlled. Step by step, the “Phantom” fractures people’s lives, but nobody suspects anything, until it destroys the lives of in-love couple- Timur and Keira. She is convicted of murder, and he needs to break the law to save her. An American criminal hacker named Zach helps Timur to find the truth, and to uncover the Corporation’s conspiracy.

Who’s in it. Hunting the Phantom stars Armand Assante as Charles Ingrim, Kristanna Loken as Rush, Nikita Presnyakov as Zack and Sanzhar Madi as Timur, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 3.7/10, Hunting the Phantom has proved divisive with audiences.
