Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRKO bought the rights to the French version Michel Strogoff (1936) for $75,000, and specifically signed its star Anton Walbrook so that they could use some scenes from that movie. About 22 scenes were edited into the new version, including Siberia footage, battle footage, Tartar camps and the river on fire. The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that the new footage shot blended perfectly with the old footage.
- GoofsWhen Strogoff is being chased on horseback from Omsk, the horse trips in an open area well within view of those chasing him. Yet just after he falls, he is suddenly in a wooded area and he is able to hide himself as his chasers just ride on past.

Featured review
some action
Tsarist courier Michael Strogoff has an important message to deliver to Grand Duke Vladimir. Rebel leader Ivan Ogareff is rampaging in Siberia. Strogoff falls for Nadia. He picks up two comedic reporters and survives Tartar revolt along the way.
There seems to be different versions and this one has been edited from an earlier one. I can't really tell and I don't have the ability to compare any of them. It's a fine action adventure thriller. There is some good action, some really big action. This could be more personal. The big action do take over in the second half.
