Oscar Isaac, actor, Pu-239 Order 'Pu-239' starring Paddy Considine and Oscar Isaac, available right now at a great price by clicking on the book cover above! Oscar Isaac, my guest today, co-stars with Paddy Considine in a riveting new HBO film, Pu-239. Based upon a short story by Ken Kalfus, PU-239 tells the story of a devoted father and husband -- Paddy Considine -- in post-Soviet Russia who labors in a deteriorating nuclear plant. After being exposed to a deadly dose of radiation while trying to avert a plant disaster, he is made a scapegoat and suspended without pay. With just days to live and desperate to provide for his wife and young son, he impulsively steals a small amount of Pu-239 -- weapons grade plutonium -- and heads to Moscow to attempt a quick sale. In Moscow, Considine’s character gets caught up with an inept, wannabe gangster -- played by Isaac -- to help him sell the dangerous goods on the black market.
