The drama|documentary TV series Chernobyl?

Or the soviet era Andrei Tarkovsky movie Stalker based on the novel Roadside Picnic by the brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (who also wrote the screenplay)?

The later is unrelated to the Chernobyl accident (in any direct sense) as it concerns unfathomable alien technology left as waste on earth after a visitation (or alien picnic along a galactic roadside) with human 'stalkers' raiding the unknown like ants after sugar.

The game loosely draws on the Roadside Picnic [1] by Strugatsky brothers but moves the plot to the Chernobyl zone.

Stalker the film is based on the Roadside Picnic story, btw.
