Hello friends, I hope you enjoyed the movie I shared with you in my last post? I'm here with another fascinating movie title, Black Crab.

The movie is in a post-apocalyptic world, six soldiers on a covert mission must transport a mysterious package across a frozen archipelago.

The film opens with a flashback scene in which Edh is in a car with her daughter waiting in a traffic jam. Civilians are attacked by approaching enemies and the pair are forced out of the car.

A few years later, she's now a soldier, she's disembarking from a train. A lieutenant drives her to the base through a dangerous neighborhood and strands her there.

She is attacked by refugees and manages to fight her way out. Upon arriving at the base, she is taken for a briefing with the Colonel, and she meets the other soldiers recruited for the special mission.

The Colonel explains that the team must cross the ice-covered Stockholm Archipelago on skates and deliver some canisters to a research base, which he says could lead to victory in the war.

She points out that this appears to be a suicide mission, but she is given a reason to try to make it, the chance to be reunited with Vanja, who has been found in a refugee camp.

The team leaves as the base is attacked the next day, and is joined by the lieutenant who abandoned her earlier. One of the team falls through the thin ice and drowns.

She jumps in after her, saving the two packages from Forsberg’s backpack but leaving her body behind.

The group takes her to a house on land, where they warm her and themselves by a fire and Nylund is selected to be their new commander, according to the chain of command, though she disagrees.

The following morning, she hears the thrum of rotors, and she catches Karimi using the radio.

The helicopter fires a missile into the house as the team escapes, leading to the suspicion that he is a traitor.

He claims he was calling his girlfriend, a radio operator at the F28 base, bombed when he was making his way to it.

Later, the group finds it difficult to skate across the thin ice and decides to travel over land. They find an elderly couple hiding in a home, having refused to leave during the evacuation.

As they eat, she spots a machine pistol mounted under the table, and she silently pleads with the man not to attack.

He nevertheless fires, and the soldiers return fire, leaving Karimi and the couple dead with one of the team injured, downplaying the severity of his wound.

As they prepare to leave, a voice claiming to be Karimi’s girlfriend from the F28 base radios in and asks to talk to him. They answer evasively and ultimately close the connection.

While resting on a ship they find frozen in the ice, one of the team opens the packages. Which contain vials of liquid with a biohazard warning, suggesting they could be some sort of biological weapon.

This leads to a crisis of conscience among the team. As he slowly dies from his injuries, he insists that the virus would not be the end of the war but instead the end of everything and shoots himself in the head.

After spotting lights on the ice which could be enemy forces, she leaves alone to continue the mission with the vials.

She comes across dangerously thin ice and attempts to skate across, but it cracks and leaves her stranded.

Two out of the team rescue her with a rope before all three attempt to cross. One of them shoots a lone machine gunner in a pillbox on a rocky hill overlooking the ice before the trio comes across the latter's comrades who frozen to death.

One of them recounts why he enlisted in the military: after being forced by the enemy to dig a mass grave with his childhood friend, he fell in as his friend was shot, and the enemy soldiers did not realize he was still alive.

Forced to push his way out from under the corpses, he witnessed their being eaten by rats and enlisted soon after.

The next morning, awoken by memories of her daughter, she realizes Nylund has run off with the capsules.

She and one of the team are attacked by a group of enemy soldiers. The two kill them all, but she is shot, and the other is killed.

She continues her journey on the ice, catching up to Nylund who reveals he is now abandoning the mission and is instead intent on destroying the capsules.

She shoots him and recovers the capsules. Furthermore, she leaves him on the ice, but soon experiences visions of two of the team before collapsing on
the ice as some soldiers arrive at horseback.

She awakes in an infirmary with frostbite to her extremities. Likewise, she finds out that she has reached her objective, the military base.

Furthermore, she'congratulated, awarded medals and promoted to Second Lieutenant for succeeding in the operation by the base commander.

An injured Nylund watches with other soldiers. She asks to see her daughter but is told that this was a ruse to increase her willpower to get the packages to the base.

On learning about this, she attacks the commander but is restrained by Nylund, who holds her as she cries, she decides to destroy the capsules and convinces Nylund to make a last-ditch effort to dispose of them.

Do you think she will be able to destroy the capsules? Find out what happened next on Netflix as the movie gets fascinating.
