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.
During the war in Afghanistan a Soviet tank crew commanded by a tyrannical officer find themselves lost and in a struggle against a band of Mujahadeen guerrillas in the mountains.
