Hardcore Henry (also known simply as Hardcore outside the US) is a 2016 science fiction action film, shot from a first-person perspective. It was directed by Ilya Naishuller, the lead singer of the Russian indie rock band Biting Elbows. Naishuller previously directed two music videos for his band's songs "The Stampede" (2011) and "Bad Motherfucker" (2013), which were also shot from a first-person view and led to the concept for the film Hardcore Henry .
