An amazing, little-known war film about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Jason Patric plays a Russian tanker abandoned by his fanatical commander (played by the great character actor George Dzundza) because of his lack of enthusiasm for the war, and he then defects to the mujahideen. Authentic visuals make it a must-see for war movie buffs.
Synopsis
