Ukroshcheniye ognya (1972)
Space wars seen from the Russian side

This film was definitely a pride of the Soviet film industry just a few decades ago. It is still quite an interesting 3-hour movie to watch even today, when masses of viewers are spoiled with crazy special effects. Space wars are shown from the Russian side in this epic film. The director's job is impressive and cinematography too. The film is also interesting because it includes rare black and white documentaries of the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, and several shots showing rockets taking off from the Baykonur Kosmodrome in Kazakhstan (at that time it was part of the Soviet Union). Famous Russian actors, such as Lavrov and Smoktunovsky did a good job.
