Synopsis :
Fedor Bondarchuk, the son of noted
Russian filmmaker Sergei Bondarchuk, debuts
as a director with the harrowing and
relentless military drama 9th Company, set
between 1988 and 1989 at the tail end of the
U.S.S.R. Afghani war (the Soviet equivalent
of Vietnam). The picture opens in
Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, in late 1988, when
military trainees Petrovsky, Ryaba, Chugun,
Stas, Pinochet, Lyutev and Vorobyev are
whipped into shape at a training camp by the
brutal, sadistic commander, Warrant Officer
Dygalo - prior to being sent off to the front
lines. After several one-by-one dalliances
with the local whore, Snow White, and a
cautionary lecture on the history, geography
and culture of Afghanistan (which most of the
men sleep through), the trainees head off to
battle - first to the Bagram air base, then
to the Afghani province of Khost to secure
supply lines. But nothing can begin to
prepare them for the brutal devastation into
which they are plunged, or the relentless
tide of slaughter that scatters thousands of
Soviet victims in its wake.
