The Star

The film is based on the eponymous book by Emmanuil Kazakevich. In the summer of 1944 the German armies prepare a massive tank division named "Viking" for an offensive against occupied Soviet land. The Red Army's special group of seven snipers named "Zvezda" is sent for a reconnaissance operation behind enemy lines. Two previous Soviet groups never returned. The seven Soviet soldiers know that they are going to an almost certain death for the sake of victory.
