Story plot
Bigga Than Ben is a crime-fuelled tale of two likeable but wayward
Russian "pieces of Moscow scum" who arrive in London
intent on bettering themselves and amassing an easy fortune.
But it's not long before Spiker (Andrei Chadov) and Cobakka
(Ben Barnes) realise that, legally, they aren't going to get
very far. So, aided by the dodgy Artash (Ovidiu Matesan) and
sidekick Spartak (Hero Fiennes-Tiffin), they learn to shoplift
from supermarkets, rip off banks, joyride on the tube and turn
mobile phones into crack. . Finding themselves drawn into a
shadowy underworld of backstreet drug deals, chav nightclubs,
refugees and nymphomaniacs, life begins to turn sour. The highs
begin to fade. Spiker badly misses his girlfriend back in Moscow,
and seeks consolation in drugs. When he slips into serious addiction
and Artash double-crosses them, Cobakka finds himself forced
into making some life-changing decisions. Taken from IMDB
