The Star
Emmanuil Kazakevich's eponymous novel serves as the basis for the film. In the summer of 1944, the Nazi armies prepare a massive tank division known as the "Viking" for an offensive on occupied Russian territory. The Russian Army's special group of seven snipers known as "Zvezda" is dispatched for a reconnaissance operation behind enemy lines in the back of the Nazi Tank Division. Two previous Russian groups did not return. The seven Russians are well aware that they are risking their lives for the sake of Victory.
