The film held its premiere on September 5, 2019 at the Toronto International Film Festival. It received Writers Guild of America and Critics Choice awards nominations.

Red Penguins tells the story of opportunism run amok in 1990s Moscow. Shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, ice hockey teams Pittsburgh Penguins and the CSKA Moscow (also known in the West as the Red Army team) formed a joint venture. American marketer Steve Warshaw was sent to Moscow and was tasked to transform the team into the greatest show in Russia, attracting some of the biggest names in Hollywood and advertising along the way.

The film uses archival footage and features the Gogol Bordello song “Start Wearing Purple”.
