While Russia let other former Soviet republics go their own way, it tried to hold on the Caucasian state of Chechnya, but the Chechens themselves had other ideas. In 1944, the Chechen warlord Dzokar Dudayev, a former Soviet nuclear-bomber general, seized control of the state.
A must watch piece of art-work....greatly made and greatly claimed. A group of Russian soldiers is ambushed by rebels in the Chechen mountains and two of them are taken prisoner by an old man who wants to swap them for his son in the Russian detention. The two prisoners cope with the situation in very different ways, as the war-hardened and cynical officer Sasha (Oleg Menshikov) works to escape while the young and naive conscript Vanya (Sergei Bodrov, Jr.) tries to make friends with his captors. After an escape plan fails, the different personalities of these prisoners determine their fate.
