Pusher is a 1996 Danish crime thriller film[1] co-written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, in his film debut.[2] A commercial success considered to be influential in Danish film history, it marked Mads Mikkelsen's film debut.
The film is set in the criminal underground of Copenhagen, Denmark, and tells the story of the drug dealer Frank (Kim Bodnia) who, after losing a large amount of money in a drug deal gone wrong, falls into desperation as he only has a few days to raise the money he owes.
Although Pusher was not intended to become a franchise, financial difficulties forced Winding Refn to produce two sequels: Pusher II, focusing on Mikkelsen's character after the events of the first film, and Pusher 3, focusing on another secondary character introduced in Pusher; both were financial and critical successes. A Hindi remake of the same name was released in 2010,[3] as well as an English-language remake in 2012.[4]
