Movie Story : In December 1941, a small Soviet detachment near Vyazma finds itself by chance in a grim, lopsided fight against a special Wehrmacht unit. Outnumbered and outgunned, the soldiers refuse to surrender, each ready to lay down his life to defend his homeland. As the battle goes on, a legend takes shape: the Red Ghost, a figure who strikes such fear into German troops that they come to see him as unbeatable. The film is a war drama about ordinary men becoming heroes and the hope that carries them through.
