Mattia Moreno Leonidas

Mattia Moreno Leonidas stars in The Phoenician Scheme (2025), a film that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t really let go. The story kicks off in the shadowy alleys of modern Beirut, where ancient secrets and present-day ambitions are tangled up in this wild, high-stakes hunt for a piece of lost history. We’re talking Phoenician gold, coded manuscripts, double-crosses—basically, if you blink, you’ll miss a plot twist. Leonidas plays Alexi, this stubborn history nerd who’s got more enemies than friends and a knack for getting into trouble. He’s chasing a legend that’s been buried for centuries, but he’s not the only one—corrupt officials, black market dealers, and a mysterious rival who seems to always be two steps ahead are all after the same prize. Honestly, it’s a total roller coaster. The movie jumps from tight city streets to these windswept archaeological digs, with a soundtrack that absolutely slaps. Dialogues snap and crackle, and the tension? Yeah, you can cut it with a butter knife. But it’s not all action and chases—there’s some real heart, too, especially when Alexi starts to realize what he’s risking (and who he’s becoming) in his quest. The Phoenician Scheme isn’t just about finding treasure—it’s about what you lose along the way. Buckle up, because this ride is anything but predictable.
