Details

During World War II, a soviet aircraft crashes on Nazi-occupied territory. But the pilot Grivtsov and his beloved radio operator Katya miraculously survive. Another survivor is flight navigator Linko, who ejected from the plane. Each of them has to find his way and perform military tasks, return to his own forces and simply to stay alive. The situation becomes more complicated because of an act of sabotage, which has been committed before their take-off at the aerodrome. Honest Grivtsov gets on the bad side of the colonel of SMERSH by defending his friends. Instead of being granted a medal "Star" for his 100th flight, he is pronounced a traitor and is to be executed.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Movie Review SPOILER ALERT: You've been warned.Like others who've posted before me, I loved this series. I watched this as a TV series on Hulu. I was hooked from the first episode forward. The acting and writing are first rate. The subtitles follow the action - sometimes you find the subtitles are either wrong or not timed properly. This was not the case with the Hulu TV version. I do have to say when the dialog was in German, there was a Russian language translator speaking over the German language (you can hear both German and Russian) with English subtitles on the bottom. Nevertheless, it was not too distracting and did not take anything away from the film.This is a story about a WW2 (aka The Great Patriotic War in Russia) pilot who becomes engaged and separated from his fiancé only to find he is ordered to drop a "package" to the Russian underground in the occupied parts of the Soviet Union. There is plenty of suspense and drama mixed in with a love story that moves at a nice pace. I was never bored or thinking this series is dragging. Like others, I was completely surprised at the low rating when I looked it up on IMDb. It is far better than the surprising lower ratings. If there is something negative I'd say the special effects are not quite (but close) to some of the better special effects in either an English or American film. But it does not take anything away from the story. Two Thumbs and Ten Toes Up!
paladier This was one of the greatest movies I have ever watched. Absolutely amazing. It is definitely longer than your average eat-popcorn-drink- soda-sleep-on-the-couch movie. But it has everything you might expect from a movie so long: you have the story of a Soviet pilot during WW2 which finds himself in enemy's territory. Then, you have the guerrilla wars between the Nazis and the Soviets. Also, the friendships formed during war, the life of civilians during these times and of course, the best of them all, the main love story which is absolutely brilliant. Recommended for anyone who has some spare hours and wishes to see a masterpiece!
Jerome Walker I just have three things to say:It's available on Hulu for free in the USA! It was a pleasure (to have more Russian language material) to watch and listen and try not to look at the subtitles too often. (Of course I failed - I needed to look at the subtitles most of the time.The story is very interesting and exciting too. If you are only vaguely aware of Hitler's betrayal of the USSR and not aware of the ensuing conflict within the auspices of WWII that it caused, it will be even more interesting as you see some of the aspects of the conflict, as well as life in the Soviet Army.I loved for the reasons above. Oh by the way... I repeat: It's on Hulu in the USA for free!Cheers, Jerry
foreverinflow I've never wrote a review before, but this film made me wanna make one. I didn't even knew this film was Russian, but after watching this film, I clapped my hands and I felt they've done a great job with it.The characters is developed well, making you wanna root for them, and the storyline is good but I wished they would put more effort in the showing the 'emotions/feelings' of the characters. (The part where it supposed to make me sad/mad. .but it's not enough) There's also some magic moments where you wouldn't have thought would happen..And that's what made this film interesting to watch till the end. Just like a Korean war movie with a Russian twist.Awesome.
