Pusher is a 1996 Danish crime thriller film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and written by Refn and Jens Dahl. It stars Kim Bodnia as Frank, a low-level drug dealer in Copenhagen, alongside Zlatko Burić, Laura Drasbæk, Slavko Labović, and Mads Mikkelsen. After a heroin deal is interrupted by police and the drugs are lost, Frank becomes heavily indebted to his supplier, Milo, and makes increasingly desperate attempts to raise the money he owes. Burić received a Bodil Award in 1997 for his performance as Milo. The film has also received generally favourable critical reviews. Two sequels followed, each focusing on another character from Copenhagen's criminal underworld: Pusher II follows Tonny, while Pusher 3 follows Milo. The film was also remade in Hindi in 2010 and in English as Pusher in 2012.
