V2. Escape from Hell (2021) Movie Script
AurorA RSA:
KAZAN, 1 May 1957.
Happy International Workers' Day!
Long live the working class at the
Kazan river port!
- Hurray! Hurray!
- Hurray!
On May 1, 1957, we marched
in the column at the Kazan river port.
I'm Mikhail Devyatayev,
a ship mechanic who's been wronged.
This is my wife Faya, and these are
our children: Sasha and Alyosha.
Faya!
Good morning, Grigory Vasilyevich!
Happy May Day!
- Tickets!
- They pay, comrade! We pay!
Tickets for the trip!
Careful! Careful!
Are you going to step on my child?!
- Grigory Vasilyevich, please!
- Don't touch him!
Don't touch him with your
dirty hands! Traitor...
Why did he say that in front of the children?!
Grigory Vasilyevich... I understand.
Kolya won't be coming back.
- There's no cure for that pain.
- Pain?
If Kolya survived...
It's been 12 years, oh yes...
He's just as scared as you are!
One day they will
find the truth and arrest you!
That's for me, all... my pain!
But my child, don't give up!
And I don't need to be afraid!
And you...
BASED ON REAL EVENTS
July 13, 1944, First Ukrainian Front.
I can see the Heinkel!
He's going to bomb our people!
He's escorted by four Fokkers - we'll
deal with them first!
- Strizh, Bustard, the two of them are below!
- Get them, Beaver! I'll fight!
- Mordvino, minor wound. Can you see them?
- I see them! I'll attack!
- Mordvino is covering me!
- Understood!
Come on! Come on!
Where?!
I got one!
- Quick! Jump!
- I can't see anything! I'm on fire!
- Otter! I'm alone!
- Bustard, you've got a Fokker on your tail!
I don't have time!
That means, go!
There are two of us, three Fokkers left!
Shoot them down, don't fall asleep!
Roger, Otter, three Fokkers...
- I don't see the second partner!
- Behind you! I already told you back there!
Mordvino, take that partner
with you! Fall back!
- The Heinkel's getting away, I'm going after it!
- I'll lead them to the river!
Come on, come on, come on! Answer me!
Come on, damn it!
Come on!
Mordvin, watch out! There's a bridge over there!
Come on, come on...!
Got it!
Otter, I got two! Otter, can you hear me?!
Otter?!
I can't see you, Otter! Where are you?!
Otter!
Let go of me, Mordvin! - Understood!
I'll cook you, you reptile!
Come on, come on, come on!
You won't get away from me! Move in!
Answer me!
I've got you!
- Wow, nice shooting, Devyatayev!
- I did what I could!
Let's go after the Heinkel!
Eyes up! You're on the right track!
Keep your distance, he has a machine gun.
You'll approach from both sides!
Draw their fire, I'll enter the dead zone...
I won't last long! They're shooting fast!
Hide behind the tail!
Mordvino, shoot!
Shoot now!
I have to be sure...
The reptile shot at me! Come on Mordvino, come on!
I'm watching you...
You bastard, this is for Kolya!
Why are you flying under it?!
The pig gave it to me.
I can't see!
- Otter, guide me!
- We're going back!
- We're going home, Misha!
- Got it.
Jump, Misha! Jump!
It's going to blow up!
- Got it...
- It's over! You won't make it! Jump!
Why not, Otter, why not?
How about that?
It works... But it's hot!
- Straight ahead!
- It's crawling with Nazis!
You'll burn alive, Misha!
Devyatayev, don't be a hero!
Jump! That's an order, Misha!
Misha, I'm ordering you to jump!
(The pilots didn't like this maneuver
because it made their evacuation difficult.)
(Devyatayev knocked his head against the door
frame and was taken prisoner unconscious.)
DEVYATAYEV.
LODZ, 15 AUGUST 1944
Camp for captured pilots.
Class, everyone stand up!
Sit down, all of you,
you're on the same ship.
Kolya?
Anyway, does everyone know
what awaits them at home?
Order 270 of August 16, 1941!
It speaks of military responsibility for
capture and surrender of weapons to the enemy.
Whoever hasn't read it,
please familiarize yourself with it...
The order is written in
black and white...
Commanders...
Politicians...
Those who surrender to the enemy will be
considered unconditional deserters!
Their families will be
immediately arrested and declared outlaws...
They will be considered the families of traitors to the Motherland!
But the Wehrmacht command
gives us a chance.
If you accept my offer,
you can get your helmet back.
They'll be back in the cockpit.
They'll ascend to heaven.
They'll feel useful.
That's all for today.
Everyone out!
Kolya!
Miska!

Misha!
I thought you knew it's not
a coincidence! It's fate!
Come on, why are you staring at me like that?
Look away!
Come on, say hello! Come on, look at me!
I'm alive! I'm alive!
You thought you'd
died a hero.
So how are you? How's Faya?
Faya wrote...
Your father, when he got
your death certificate, was furious.
Sit down.
- What if your father finds out?
- You won't know! You won't know!
How do you know, Misha?
I died and that's the end!
Kolya Larin is dead!
And this is my other life!
Hmm...
Then...
- And what are you doing here with them?
- Come here and I'll show you.
Faster!
Like it?
I'll vouch for you in front of the boss.
I told them you're my friend...
A good pilot, a true ace!
You'll be paid...
16 frames!
The Germans respect those
who are good at their work.
Sit down! Enjoy this!
Nuremberg!
We've sold our loyalty
for sausages and beer.
Or we go home as
heroes with medals.
Is this how they trust everyone?
Got it.
You know, Misha, I
can even see your belly.
Many who come here for the first
time think like that.
How will you escape, Misha?
All the instruments are written
in German.
- Even if you really want to, you won't take off.
- What?
Faya told you to learn German! Now
you're standing here like a fool.
But you know German, and
the planes are right here!
- They'll chase and shoot me down.
- Have you tried it yet?
Misha, look at me!
The badge is German...
The plane is German...
That's treason...
Death, loss of honor...
A disgrace to the family.
My father will never forgive me!
Kolya, you're wrong! Your father will forgive you,
I'll explain everything to him!
Let's fly together! Let's fly!
Let's take that boy with us!
Everyone here wants to go home, Kolya!
- Who wants to?
- Everyone wants to!
Who is everyone?
I'll tell you something.
Halt!
Stop Devyatayev!
Don't shoot!
Halt! Don't shoot!
Halt!
Don't shoot! Stop, you idiot!
Stop, you idiot!
You idiot!
Don't shoot!
Halt!
Either way, I want to help you!
Wake up, you idiot! Wake up, wake up!
Come on, buddy!
I'll write in the report that you helped prevent the leak!
Just confirm it, okay?
- How will I look people in the eye after that?
- People? You mean them?
Don't do that.
What do you want? We've been traitors to the Motherland for a long time, Misha!
I'll take care of the motherland myself.
You're betraying not only the Motherland, but me too, Kolya...
Yeah?
No one will know, Misha.
Bastard!
I'll kill you, bastard!
I'm getting out of here! Do you understand, you bastard?!
Fly away, Misha...
Like the ash from a crematorium chimney!
Attention! Attention!
After completing the sanitation procedure
prisoners will receive clean clothing and food.
Leave your personal belongings in the marked place.
SEPTEMBER 15, 1944. Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
They will be divided into work groups and will carry personal identification.
Keep them with you.
- Documents!
- Mikhail Devyatayev.
Mikhail Devyatayev, pilot...
Organizing an escape...
Come on, sit down...
For something like that, you'd go straight to the crematorium.
"In heaven she flies like an angel."
"In prayer, the soul rises..."
Cut my hair now!
You're right, you're absolutely right. It's better to die today.
Or is this too soon for you?
- Wait, hero, I'll cut your hair...
- Go to hell!
There's no devil here, no God. I'm here for all of it.
- Your liberation.
- What liberation?
Nikitienko.
Grigory Stepanovich.
From the village of Darnitsa, in the Kiev region...
- And who's that?
- Who, like who? A gunner.
What about me?
For now, you'll remain
Nikitienko.
And they'll take you to a place you won't come back from...
But don't be afraid...
If you catch the iron bird,
it will take you home...
And then you'll tell
them over there what happened here.
God is eternal...
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...
Satan...
Listen! Buddy!
Soldier...
In the name of the Almighty...
Wake up! Look at me!
- Pick one?! What's your name?
- Fatih... - Fatih... damn it!
Take it! Take this, eat!
Thank you...
Come on!
Fatah, wake up!
Come on, get up!
Come on!
What is that?!
October 2, 1944, Island of Usedom.
(Save yourself from suffering)
Attention!
Do you have anything to eat?
Share the bread, brother, I
just want a piece.
Jesus preached that we should share.
He sees everything...
My bread...!
Leave it alone!
My bread!
- My bread! Kapo!
My bread!
- Who's there?
- Crazy...
What are you looking at?
Hey... Can you hear me?
- Wait, wait, wait...
- Me?!
Are you Tatar?
Leningrad! Marathon 38!
My aunt is your neighbor!
My mother and I came to visit you.
Remember?! I'm Ryaboj!
Don't you recognize me anymore, Mustafa?
- Fatih...
Up the stairs, this is the place.
Get up! Get up, I said!
Attention!
"Ten thousand men to maneuver..."
Eat faster!
Death awaits them if they
try to beat fellow prisoners!
Your life, you bastard, belongs to the
Greater Reich! Understand?!
Nikitienko, Grigory Stepanovich...
There are two types of people on this field: those
who work and those who are already dead!
I hope you understand what you've been told.
- Do you understand?!
- Yes, of course...
Sokolov! Why are you so downcast?
Idiot! You're thick-headed!
When we call out your surname,
you shout your number.
- Karpienko!
- 53603!
- Shimakov!
- 95012!
Kharcev!
Nikitienko.
Heinkel... - Their number!
- Damn Nikitienko!
- 11024.
Are you deaf?! Idiot. Can't you hear!
- Name!
- Nikitienko, Grigori Stepanovich...
- Year of birth!
- 1921...
Place of birth!
- Kiev...
- Kiev?!
Darnitsa, Kiev region...
I remember who you are, Nikitienko!
Don't you forget that!
Nikitienko, what are you looking at?
Keep going!
And now sing!
"Old comrades who
marched across the country
they forged a loyal friendship
as hard as rock.."
Do you work at the airfield?
What?
I have to get over there.
Nikitienko, sing! Sing!
Louder!
Rockets! Here they come!!!
Let's run! Quick!
One of those rockets is going to
kill us someday.
Don't complain, Hans.
We bombed London with them...
Soon they'll fly to
Moscow and that will be the end of the war!
Unload everything that's left here!
They can go to the hospital on their own!
Put someone else on the road.
Close to me.
In one row.
- Can you hear me?
- Please...
- Nikitienko!
- He's alive! He's still alive!
You're deaf!
All the roses are alive! Get them on the road now!
I have to leave you here... Fatih, be patient.
I'll come back! Hold on, bro, I'll come back!
I'll come back... just wait!
AurorA RSA:
German, did they
put it on the plane?
What?
- For the rocket.
- Year.
The plane was stopped at the airport
and the rocket took off in the forest.
- The bomb flew by itself.
- I ate it myself?
It's that simple...
Where are you going?
It's busy. The owner's back.
Fatah!
You're going to swim...
- Where am I going to swim?
- Tell the kids...
that you're staying in my place. Excuse me...
- Why?
- There's no more room inside the boat...
Find Korsha...
- Who's Korsha?
- Korsha!
Fatah! Who's Korsha?
- Ivanoff!
- Present!
Lavnov!
Listen, buddy...
Didn't you see Korsha?
Who's Korsha?
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Korsha!
Wait!
Get to the boat, I'll follow you...
Niemchenko! Cover the
boat so it can't be seen.
The boat has to be hidden somewhere else.
You'll find it here.
This is a good spot.
We'll escape with the high tide.
Here the current will carry us to
shore in an hour or an hour and a half.
Yes... we have to get away first, tomorrow!
Korsha!
I want to go with you!
Where are we going?
Fatih told them everything.
He's with us, Sokolov.
He'll take Fatih's place.
The whole island is crawling with patrols.
Do you think we don't know that? We have no choice, we'll go out at night.
The most important thing is to make it to the shore.
So we launch the boat and row.
We row...
And the Germans will be standing on the shore watching.
What do you suggest?
- Hijack a plane.
- Who's going to hijack it?!
- Maybe you?
- I will.
I'm a pilot.
- At a secret airfield?!
- A pilot?
Yes, Senior Lieutenant of the Guards
of the 104th Combat Regiment.
I'm Devyatayev.
Mikhail Devyatayev.
The Germans are watching the sea, we'll fly out!
If you're a pilot, why do you need us?
I can't do it alone. The plane has to be ready for takeoff.
- Why are you listening to him, Commander?!
- Wait, let him finish...
And if a tanker comes tomorrow, will we escape in a tank?!
Sokolov!
We're still going ahead with the idea of escaping by boat.
That's all I could come up with, Sokolov.
We have to go to the airfield.
Airfield equipment:
Nemchenko, Ryaboj, Kutergin, Korsha, Nikitienko!
Come on, follow me!
Behind me!
Where are these prisoners going?
Why do we have to be with them here?
Against the wall! Face the wall!
(Herr Wernher von Braun's favorite has just become popular)...
(The Saturn V moon rocket idea has been withdrawn)
- Hey Sokolov, who are they?
- Scientists.
They built that damn rocket.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Watch out!
That's our plane.
How big it is!
How far can we fly with it?
- How far, Misha?
- We'll get all the way to Moscow!
Damn Russians, don't talk!
Stop!
Yes, just let it be!
Quick, get up!
Clean all that up!
Devyatayev, how do you want to hijack the plane? There are people everywhere!
There won't be anyone here for lunch.
Attention! Everyone to your positions!
To the vehicles!
Herr. Klaus... please sit down!
Thank you.
- Break.
- Thank you very much!
Ilyayev!
Please.
They've all gone to lunch.
The next patrol will be in 3 minutes, we have 180 seconds.
Let's start!
- Bill.
- 1... 2... 3...
That scientist is mine.
4... 5... 6... 7...
- I'll take care of him.
- 8...
You take off his uniform...
12... 13... 14... 15...
- We have to be faster. - I'm changing clothes.
- We're hiding the bodies.
We're hiding the bodies.
Kutergin takes us to the plane, at a distance of 50 m.
56... 57... 58...
- The door's open.
- We're entering the hangar!
- We made it.
- Give me the shovel!
62... 63...
- This is the plane.
- Niemchenko and we climb the ladder...
I start removing the engine cover...
- I'll go to the wing and open the tank...
- Pitot tube!
- Soko!
- I'll pull out the safety cover.
You won't make it.
You need more time.
102... 103... 104...
- Now I'm erasing it!
- At this point... they're going down.
- I'll do the same to the wing.
- Where's the wing?
I get into the cockpit,
checking the fuel and oil.
- I'm removing the blanket.
- I'm guarding the ladder.
How are we doing?
- Slightly left.
- One minute...
We won't make it.
Everything's in German,
I have to understand it.
I'll translate all of it...
There won't be time for that!
They'll catch us.
Hey... In the forest, next to the
bunker, there's a crashed plane...
It looks just like ours!
Sokolov! Send us tomorrow
as a brigade to the bunker.
- Herr Klaus...
- What do you want?
- I want...
- Back to work!
The fire's going out.
We have to bring some firewood.
You're right. Here, I'm the boss.
Nikitienko! Get the rye!
The rye is placed on the
left side of the plane, under the pines.
I bet the lumberjack got lost.
- Yes, I'll go look for him.
- No!
I'll do it myself!
I'll go for a walk.
The forest is full of dry wood.
Bastard! You'll find out!
Is anyone here?
Why are you delaying? I've been
waiting 15 minutes! Back to work!
Yes, yes! Alright, alright!
Fuel pump. Remember it's Kraftstoffrderpumpe.
Kraftstoffrder pump...
Kraftstoffrderpumpe... Fuel pump.
Kraftstoffrder pump...
"Kraftstoffrder..."
- "Flugschraubeanzeiger" -
Propeller pitch indicator!
- "Kraftstoffrderpompe"
- Fuel pump.
Out!
"Nicht schaltung des Kurzsteuerung..."
Cut the control.
Short command, emergency stop...
Fuel gauge...
You won't get all that!
You can't learn to fly a plane from some stupid signs.
The Germans learn that over half a year at flight school...
Go to work and don't bother me!
Get to work!
Listen...
How do you know so much German?
The orphanage tutor was German.
- Don't you have any relatives?
- Are you asking me?
How did you get the Kapo job?
- Why are you nervous?
- You'd better ask how many fascists I've killed!
Something like this is hard to come by!
Did you find out
who's behind the boat?
Don't worry, I'll find them.
Find them or
you'll go back to the barracks.
Get in!
Stop here!
Quiet!
They found the boat, didn't show up...
- Let's go swimming.
- Don't you dare touch it.
"Nicht schaltung des Kurzsteuerung."
Control...
Emergency cutoff of the control post.
Kalin?
- Aren't you happy to see me?
- Yes, of course! But why?
- How?
- Thank you.
Kolya, you're right on time.
I've gathered the crew,
everyone's ready...
Shh!
Don't talk.
And why would that help you?
What are you afraid of? Can't you
just lift the plane?
Oh no...
Because you know German and you fly better!
Yes, that's true... I have that talent.
A talent for something that,
unlike you, never interested me.
I'm just trying, I can hold on...
All of it for him.
He can be proud of you.
It's a shame he doesn't love me.
And why would he love... Now we're traitors.
Maybe there's no
reason for love, Mishka.
You might like it.
When you love like
this, you can also forgive...
Will you fly with us?
No.
I can't do it on my own!
- I can't learn it...
- Misha!
- We fly tomorrow and I can't do it!
- You can do it!
You want it, say it again...
- Off...
- Turn it off.
With your knowledge, you'll have five!
Fuel feed pump...
- The fuel pump!
- No...
- Propeller pitch indicator.
- Yes? - Clearly.
Oh no! This is the fuel pump!
It's not a pump, but the
propeller pitch indicator!
- No, no... I'm not wrong...
- It's the indicator!
- It's not the indicator!
- Are you joking?
- Am I joking?!
- The fuel pump!
- This is the indicator!
- You're lying.
- Why would I lie to you?
- You want it not to fly.
I'm telling you it's the indicator!
You just don't want it to fly!
- You don't want me to go!!
- Shh!
Enough!
Alarm!
Everybody on your feet!
What is it, Sokolov?!
I-I know!
I know! He fought with this!
Because the cor... cor... I don't understand.
- What does it say here?
- For bravery.
Forbidden things. They're confiscated!
Understood!
Tomorrow you won't get your ration!
Sleep!
- I learned everything.
- Idiot...
Attention! Attention!
It's lunchtime!
Time to fly.
- Now! - Same here.
Now...
- Now?!
- Yes.
Sokolov, distract him!
Do it with the first blow.
Don't let him scream.
- Exactly!
- Don't worry.
Herr Klaus... You're from Berlin?
No... I'm from Bernau.
- You speak Russian?
- I understand a little...
- You're a teacher?
- No, I'm a butcher!
Metzger! He's a butcher.
Yes, yes! My father was a butcher,
my grandfather was a butcher!
Come see me after the war and I'll
make you a delicious cut of meat!
- Thank you, Herr Klaus!
- You're not like those Russian pigs.
Where's the fifth one?
I sent him for wood,
so we can make more.
It's all right.
Sebelumnya, aku bersama
Helmut di sebuah tank
di sekitar Smolensk selama beberapa waktu.
We beat the Russians.
And they're blond, just like you!
How did they kill the cow in Bernau? Mad cow... dead?
First we shock it.
- And the hammer? -What?
A real hammer.
Hit it so hard its brains spread across the whole field!
- A hammer?!
- Yes! Because it keeps walking.
It wanders around,
looks around and smokes!
Bingo!
To the shelter!
Come on! Let's run!
Don't blow up the hangar!
Don't blow up the hangar!
Take it easy! Take it easy!
If you like, come visit me in
Siberia! Do you hear me, Volodya?
We have fir trees that, if you
bang the trunk really hard...
nuts fall on your head!
Let's do it!
Not in the hangar! Not in the hangar!
Not in the hangar...
Please, not in the hangar!
What are you doing?
Don't go to the hangar!
Pilot, did they
ruin your plan?
Let's get out of here!
The plane's intact! Intact!
The bomb didn't explode!
We have to defuse it.
- Come with me!
- You go and disarm it!
- I suggest you step back.
- Nikitienko, come back!
We have to go there
and defuse the bomb.
What's wrong?
This is a total disaster!
Don't panic!
We'll call the bomb disposal squad!
Commander!
Commander! Put your hands out!
- Hey, Capo!
- Yes?!
I can defuse it!
The bomb, stop.
- You can defuse a bomb.
Yes, I understand!
- Why are you helping us?
- He's asking why you want to help them.
- I want to eat...
- You want to eat.
Anything... anything... Bread... Eat!
Eat!
Give me the binoculars!
Will you succeed?
Ryabov!
Will it explode?
- Of course it'll explode...
- Quiet! - Enough!
It'll be free, and your conscience
will haunt you for the rest of your life...
Right, Commander? It'll be
a horrible homecoming.
Hush, hush, we'll find
out something.
Oh... Why are you here, Commander?
Take this...
- Wait, wait!
- What next?!
Carefully remove the detonator cap.
Here...
- Yes. And what next?
- See that nut? - Yes.
Unscrew the nut with one hand and
hold the detonator with the other!
Screwdriver in one... and
the detonator in the other...
Do you understand!
Carefully...
There it is.
Wait!
Wait over there, guys!
Wait!
Come on, get him out.
(Kraftstoff frderpumpe...) Fuel pump.
In the end, he managed to do it.
Obstacles strengthen the spirit...
Purpose and discipline
are the foundation of order!
Today the brigade will not work!
They will receive a double
ration of food for the officers!
Follow me!
Thank you.
Let's get our rations quickly!
I'll be right back.
Keep going!
What, Nikitienko?
You're brave.
You understand what and how!
You saved the fascist plane!
Very good, very good...
- That's right!
- Get out!
I see you've understood
that the strongest is right!
The main thing is to survive
the war, squat...
And then we'll learn German
and adapt somehow.
And our country?
Our country has already turned to ashes.
I told you to leave.
Attention, attention!
Greater Germany has dealt
a crushing blow to Soviet power!
Relax!
Come on!
What?! Is it hard to bear?
Is it hard, Nikitienko?!
But you have to do it, so do it.
You've endured your whole life!
Humiliation, poverty, hunger...
Just like now! - I'm calm...
Because your plan will fail!
Who will spread your wings in the sky?
Leave them alone!
Do you think I don't
know what a fuel pump is?
- Why are you interested?
- I wanted to steal!
I'll kill you, you bastard!
Stop!
Calm down, don't despair...
Don't lose control!
If you accept my offer,
you can get your helmet back.
They'll be back in the cockpit.
They'll go up to
heaven and feel useful.
This morning, this prisoner,
for his heroic act...
saved us from the explosion.
But we must remember...
Order and discipline
are our main weapons!
Without order and discipline,
there will be no victory!
The punishment is: 25 lashes!
What are you doing?
One!
Two...!
Three! - Change!
Four!
That's enough, Sokolov!
Commander?
- Like it?
- Yes.
This is how you should treat
them. Let's head back to camp.
Boss, go on!
Come on! They're staying!
In the end... You'll fly.
They're going to kill him...
They're going to kill him!
Complete the mission and return to base!
- Heil Hitler!
- Heil Hitler!
- Why did you start falling so fast?
- I wasn't falling...
- What do you want, Herr Sturmbannfhrer?
- We need your help.
At Sachsenhausen camp we caught
someone who was changing identities.
- A prisoner has disappeared.
- What do you want me to do?
One of your pilots has been
sent to a secret location.
- You have to go there and identify him.
- That's your job!
I don't think you want the pilot to escape
and tell your father what kind of work
Lieutenant Larin did here,
who fell heroically here.
How do you know about my father?
That's my job.
Wake up! Wake up!
Misha, wake up! Wake up, buddy...
- How are you?
- Hanging in there.
Come on, Misha, eat something!
Forgive me.
- I can't do it...
- Don't be ridiculous.
And for what, Misha?
I killed a man before the war.
It was an accident.
They took me and sent me to Kolyma.
My mother couldn't take it, and she died.
And I searched for her all over Russia, on foot.
In Leningrad itself, on the ice.
It nearly broke the blockade!
Except nobody came out... that's Misha for you.
I'm here in front of you,
and my mother is over there...
So wake up, buddy! Come on, get up!
Come on, come on, come on!
Carefully.
Oh yes! We'll keep celebrating
the victory in Red Square!
Great Misha!
You're all right, Mishunia! Healthy!
- What time is lunch?
- In two hours...
Lift!
Go. Let's do it again.
- Korsha!
- I'm reporting to Klaus!
I dressed up like a fritz and
carried everything to the hangar.
Pitot tube, wheel washing machine...
Careful!
It won't hold...
Got it.
Thank you.
- And who are they?
- The Gestapo!
They're looking for someone.
- Hey Hitler!
- Hey Hitler!
Sturmbannfhrer von Berghoff.
What can I do for you?
Obersturmbannfhrer, one of the prisoners
here is suspected of using a false name.
- Is it him!
- Which one?
Larin. We were together.
We were at the same flight school! He'll
recognize me! Brother, run now!
Oberleutnant Larin
knows him personally!
- Yes, at your service!
Klaus, order the guards to round up
all the prisoners immediately. All at once!
Yes, sir!
Round up all the prisoners! Right away!
Look ahead! Don't turn around!
Remember, Kutergin!
Leningrad, Marata Street 38!
Marata 38, you go under the arch, second staircase on the left, third floor...
Third floor.
green door...
Have you thought it over, Riaboy?
You bastard soldier! This is what you get!
- High!
- Who did you say?!
Take the prisoners to the prison!
Marata 38!
Green door on the left!
Friends! Celebrate the victory for me in Red Square!
Marata 38, behind the arch...
We work here on a special military program.
One of them might prevent us from doing it.
- Oberleutnant, did you find what you were looking for?
- No!
Oberkapo, back to work!
Line up!
Take me with you! Please take me with you.
- I want to fly with you!
- Let's go get it.
To the airport!
Let's go!
Clear the spot, the door will open!
So are we going to fly?
Damn... how do we get it out of there?
Mr. Klaus!
What happened?
Damn you!
Korsha! Korsha!
- Are you crazy? Now we...
- Stop!
Home! We'll fly back, I'm a pilot.
- Move... Come on!
- Come on!
Help us up the ladder!
Check the oil and get in!
I'm going to the cabin!
46... 47...
Guys! Help me open the cabin!
I'm coming too!
I'm getting in!
I like this...
Good grief... what kind of seat is this?
Let's think of something...
64... 65...
- What are you waiting for?
- Everything's ready!
No parachute! I need something bigger to sit on.
- Take off your coat!
- Quick, take off your jacket!
Naked, quick.
Catch!
Commandant, how do you force all these prisoners?
Hunger! You don't know what hungry people are capable of.
A bomb recently nearly hit our emergency plane.
It got stuck right on top of it.
Keep going!
You have to go to heaven with clean hands!
With clean hands...
- What's wrong, pilot?
- Time! Time! -85...86...
Ein - on! Aus - off!
Go... Come on!
What's happening?! Are we going to fly?
Battery!!
How do we start the engines?
- Find the battery!
- What?
- What does it look like?
- What does it look like?
- In the cabinet on wheels! With the cable!
- Cabinet... on wheels... with the cable!
Let's find the battery!
Devyatayev, calm down!
- Is this it? - Yes! - Under the cabin!
There's a socket under the cabin.
Look down!
- This is it. Let's go.
- Ready? Let's go!
Ready!
- That's it? Contact!
- Yes!
It worked!
fuel feed pumps
(Kraftstoff-Forderpumpen)
Devyatayev! The bomb bay doors are open!
Oh, no.
Come on, come on... Think faster!
Fuel pumps!
(Kraftstoff-Forderpumpen)
- Left engine! Get away from me!
- Stay clear of the left engine!
Let's get out of here!
Yes... The left engine...
Where's the indicator? There it is.
"Switch on only when the engine is not running."
And one...
Two, three, four... five...
six... eight! Now!
Let's go, God!
Full power. They can unlock the wheels and climb.
Unlock the wheels and get the plane up!
Pull out the battery!
Start the right engine.
Magnet switch...
Everyone inside! Move! Quickly!
Let me open it!
Open the door and get in!
Damn, there's a patrol!
A police car! For my mother!
Don't move, don't speak!
The patrol has passed! I'm opening the door!
Kutergin, get into the cockpit!
- I'm in!
- All of us!
Let's go!
I'm releasing the brake!
What's going on?
Why aren't you moving, pilot?
- Is something wrong?!
- There's a lock under the wheel!
Is it stuck?
- Blocked!
- Nemchenko, follow me!
Quick!
- Is everyone there?
- Run, run, run!
- Is everyone there?
- Everyone!
Healthy! Everyone's fine!
Good brothers! Let's go!
Full throttle!
Come on, Gustaf! Move, come on!
Drive well...
Put on your helmet and duck!
- Don't look out the window!
- Get down!
Misha, a truck!
- Sokolov... - Yes? - Find the map.
- So north...
- We're here.
Look, there's something else here. Our base plan.
- Take it, it'll be useful at home.
- We'll fly west first!
- Why?
- They'll be looking for us in the east!
Wait!
Finally! We're going to fly!
What are they saying?
They say the runway is closed. You have to let someone through.
Who do we let land? I don't see anything here.
Damn it!
Small! Nothing bad...
- The road... Come on!
- Let's go now!
- Devyatayev! Why won't it take off?!
- I don't know...
- What's going on?!
- What are you doing, pilot?!
- Why won't it take off again?!
- I don't understand what's happening!
It has to lift its tail, then
it'll fly on its own.
Misha, do something, this is the end of the runway!
Take cover!
Damn... this is the end.
Wow! We're alive.
The plane is gone!
I want a report on what happened!
Lieutenant!
Niemchenko! Are you alive?
You bastard! You're no pilot!
He likes putting us right in front of the firing squad!
What are you doing, idiot?
Quiet!
- Korsha, did you remove all the locks?
- I put them all back.
- Run and check again!
- Quiet!
Germans, brother! Germans!
Sit down, sit down! We're going!
Let's try now!
Come on, Misha, hurry up!
- I won't make it...
- Hey pilot, are we taking off or not?
I have to go back to the start of the runway, the plane won't take off against the wind!
They killed him. They're on the track!
Alarm! Alarm!
- To the car!
- I'll try!
Where are you going, Mishania?
There's information about the rocket on the plane!
Yes, the rocket's flight path.
Your pilot has an accurate map!
- There's a car on the left!
- That's the commandant's car! Faster!
Go... Let's go!
There are materials from our research program!
You'll find everything there! We have to cut them off!
Stop them or that'll be the end of us!
Why is this happening?
Come on! Gustav, come on!
Damn, it's jammed!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
We need to get closer.
Go... Let's go!
- Help me!
- Go... Let's go!
Come here, everyone, quick! We have to push! Come on!
You won't get away, Mishenka!
You're not going anywhere, buddy!
Dear city!
Taking off...
You finally did it.
Don't let go yet!
- I'm not letting go!
- Drop it already.
We're really flying!
Don't take...
Do you know what's even more interesting?
The control levers in the cockpit
are placed so absurdly,
that when I first
sat down there, I
wondered: where are
the altitude controls?
I searched for them, I searched for them...
until I found them.
They're on the right side,
under the seat.
Under the seat, on the right side!
There it is! That's right!
Wait, wait!
We made it? What?
Yes, now, we're doing it now!
We're flying.
The lad will go through all
the battles and wars...
Without knowing his dream,
without knowing his loneliness...
The beloved city can sleep soundly...
He dreams and turns
green in the middle of spring.
The beloved city can sleep soundly...
When the lad finally returns home...
The local wind will blow after him...
Do you remember what he said?
Marathon 38?
I'll remember that address for the rest of my life...
The family home, green gardens,
and the gentle view of Fajin!
- Devyataev, why aren't you singing?
- Who's this?
- Forgot the lyrics?
- Larin!
It's a sad song, isn't it?
Like at a funeral, Mishka.
Bastards!
Get ready for battle!
- Korsha, lower the gun to the bottom turret!
- Understood!
- Can anyone shoot?
- No, yes!
- Kutergin, let's go!
- Understood!
Keep your eyes open!
Can you see it?
- Korsha!
- I can't see it!
Where?!
Over there?
- Kutergin! Do you have ammo for the machine gun?
- Plenty!
Do you know why the dead get up?
Why do they bury bodies
as deep as they can?
Why?
So the dead don't come back to life.
Everyone has to say goodbye and forget.
Because some people come back,
and it's terrifying!
They cling to life!
God forbid this happens to us...
And we're already dead!
Did you hear that, Devyatayev?
Do you remember order 270?
The dead must not
return to the living...
Where are you going, Misha?
- Let me go.
If I let you go, you'll talk.
No way!
The beloved city can sleep soundly!
And dream...
Got you, Mishania!
- I've got him!
- Fire!
- He's hiding behind the tail!
- I'll find out! Let's go!
Damn, this one's for you!
Are you all right over there? Didn't
I hand it over to your guys?
Take it easy!
- Is it alive? - It's fine! It's alive!
- What does it look like over there?
- The upper dome is damaged,
Korsha! Don't let him
get into the dead zone!
If he crosses the line,
he'll finish us off!
I see him!
Don't let him get behind the tail!
He's hiding behind the tail!
- It's over...
- You knew it!
It's on fire!
It's on fire! Let's light up, bro! Pressure! The pressure's dropping!
I'll level it!
Answer me!
Cut off the fuel supply!
- Where?! - Where?! - On the left!
I warned you, Devyatayev!
You don't stand a chance...
Misha! Ground!
Idiot ground!
Ground!
Then let's finish this.
Come on!
- Who spotted him? - Below the U.S.!
Fire!
He's hiding again! Damn it!
- Find him! - Shoot! Shoot!
Misha, Misha...
Shooting a defenseless comrade isn't the Soviet way...
I gave him one, I got him! - Enough!
Kolya, Kolya... that's enough.
Below us is the front line. Come on, let's go home!
And where would I go, Misha?
Who would I make happy there? My father? He'll be pleased with his new uniform.
We're going home! I'll explain everything, Kolya!
Will you save yourself, Kolya? Do you hear me? Kolya, can you hear me?
I hear you, Misha, forgive me...
There's no way back for me.
I'm going to touch you guys!
Knock knock, it's me, guys!
What are you doing, you idiot?! We're going to crash!
Your mom's here, she brought milk!
Open... open the door!
- Oh my God! - We're going to burn!
Kuterin, grab the machine gun and hand it to me!
It's jammed!
Hurry up!
Quick, quick, quick!
- Damn it! We're going down!
- Kuterin is coming to help me.
- Come on, come on...
- Let's go, let's go!
- Go!
- Shoot, Kuterin!
I've finished it!
Devyataev...
Misha, I'm falling!
Devyataev! Can you hear me?!
Forgive me for everything!
Look after Faya! Misha!
Misha!
For my father... don't tell Dad!
I won't tell him.
I promise you, Kolya...
Misha! Wake up!
- They've got us!
- What do you mean "got us"? We're in a German plane!
They hit the second engine!
We're losing altitude!
We're going down!
Everyone sit down! Get ready
for an emergency landing!
Be careful, brothers!
Come on, don't let us down!
Now hold on tight!
Are they all alive?
Nice landing!
That doesn't matter.
Korsha... Where's Korsha?
- Korsha!
- Are you all right, Korsha?
Korsha!
Here!
We're home...
Actually... Which region are we in?
Brothers! A vehicle with soldiers!
Germans?
Raise your weapons! We'll defend ourselves!
We won't make it.
There are too many of them.
Surrender, Fritz!
They've got us!
Ours, we're theirs!
Don't shoot! We're yours!
- They're ours!! - Who are you?
Friends, they've got us!
March 3, 1945, Czlopa.
Mikhail Devyatayev.
Born in 1917.
Lie down!
This is the missile center.
Connected to the underground factory...
- There it is.
- Incredible.
Make room on your uniform.
- Get well soon!
- Thank you very much.
I have a few questions for you.
Do you agree?
Yes, of course! Please.
- This is an incredible story...
- Yes.
Our experts say that without
preparatory training,
it's impossible to take off
in a plane like that.
Yes, it was difficult...
That's not true!
You came in that plane. How
did you learn to handle it so quickly?
The Germans trained them
for six months...
Do you think I'm lying?
you were at the air force
training base in Lodz.
There was a man who
vouched for you to the Germans.
Give us his name and you can
get that spot for the medal.
Won't you speak?
All right... We'll remember it together.
How did you survive in the camp? Why
don't you tell the truth?!
Who are you protecting?!
- I promised to keep quiet.
- Who did you promise?!
Yes! The bus stop!
Stop, we're leaving!
- Who did you promise?!
- They're holding us...
Let's go, Faya.
For 12 years they
took me in for interrogation...
And every time, Faya and I
said goodbye forever.
Good morning!
Devyatayev, Mikhail Petrovich?
But that day I was summoned from Moscow.
The Kremlin.
There I was awarded
a high government honor.
Dad, aren't you a traitor?
I may never know
why they believed me right away.
Maybe because times had changed...
Or maybe...
Because I didn't betray my friends.
We will forget our mistakes...
And life goes on.
You have to be able to forgive mistakes.
And remember the great deeds!
Twelve years after my escape, I
walked across Red Square...
And it seemed to me
that we were all walking close together...
Those who survived and those who died!
Vladimir Sokolov and Piotr
Kutergin returned to the front.
And only a month later they
died while crossing the Oder River.
Volody Niemchenko was killed
in the assault on Berlin.
But we were there together!
And everyone around, young and old, shouted...
Glory to the heroes!
The fireworks lights...
They brightly lit up
the faces of my friends!
Come on, Captain... - Full speed! - Yes.
Keep going!

KAZAN, 1 May 1957.
Happy International Workers' Day!
Long live the working class at the
Kazan river port!
- Hurray! Hurray!
- Hurray!
On May 1, 1957, we marched
in the column at the Kazan river port.
I'm Mikhail Devyatayev,
a ship mechanic who's been wronged.
This is my wife Faya, and these are
our children: Sasha and Alyosha.
Faya!
Good morning, Grigory Vasilyevich!
Happy May Day!
- Tickets!
- They pay, comrade! We pay!
Tickets for the trip!
Careful! Careful!
Are you going to step on my child?!
- Grigory Vasilyevich, please!
- Don't touch him!
Don't touch him with your
dirty hands! Traitor...
Why did he say that in front of the children?!
Grigory Vasilyevich... I understand.
Kolya won't be coming back.
- There's no cure for that pain.
- Pain?
If Kolya survived...
It's been 12 years, oh yes...
He's just as scared as you are!
One day they will
find the truth and arrest you!
That's for me, all... my pain!
But my child, don't give up!
And I don't need to be afraid!
And you...
BASED ON REAL EVENTS
July 13, 1944, First Ukrainian Front.
I can see the Heinkel!
He's going to bomb our people!
He's escorted by four Fokkers - we'll
deal with them first!
- Strizh, Bustard, the two of them are below!
- Get them, Beaver! I'll fight!
- Mordvino, minor wound. Can you see them?
- I see them! I'll attack!
- Mordvino is covering me!
- Understood!
Come on! Come on!
Where?!
I got one!
- Quick! Jump!
- I can't see anything! I'm on fire!
- Otter! I'm alone!
- Bustard, you've got a Fokker on your tail!
I don't have time!
That means, go!
There are two of us, three Fokkers left!
Shoot them down, don't fall asleep!
Roger, Otter, three Fokkers...
- I don't see the second partner!
- Behind you! I already told you back there!
Mordvino, take that partner
with you! Fall back!
- The Heinkel's getting away, I'm going after it!
- I'll lead them to the river!
Come on, come on, come on! Answer me!
Come on, damn it!
Come on!
Mordvin, watch out! There's a bridge over there!
Come on, come on...!
Got it!
Otter, I got two! Otter, can you hear me?!
Otter?!
I can't see you, Otter! Where are you?!
Otter!
Let go of me, Mordvin! - Understood!
I'll cook you, you reptile!
Come on, come on, come on!
You won't get away from me! Move in!
Answer me!
I've got you!
- Wow, nice shooting, Devyatayev!
- I did what I could!
Let's go after the Heinkel!
Eyes up! You're on the right track!
Keep your distance, he has a machine gun.
You'll approach from both sides!
Draw their fire, I'll enter the dead zone...
I won't last long! They're shooting fast!
Hide behind the tail!
Mordvino, shoot!
Shoot now!
I have to be sure...
The reptile shot at me! Come on Mordvino, come on!
I'm watching you...
You bastard, this is for Kolya!
Why are you flying under it?!
The pig gave it to me.
I can't see!
- Otter, guide me!
- We're going back!
- We're going home, Misha!
- Got it.
Jump, Misha! Jump!
It's going to blow up!
- Got it...
- It's over! You won't make it! Jump!
Why not, Otter, why not?
How about that?
It works... But it's hot!
- Straight ahead!
- It's crawling with Nazis!
You'll burn alive, Misha!
Devyatayev, don't be a hero!
Jump! That's an order, Misha!
Misha, I'm ordering you to jump!
(The pilots didn't like this maneuver
because it made their evacuation difficult.)
(Devyatayev knocked his head against the door
frame and was taken prisoner unconscious.)
DEVYATAYEV.
LODZ, 15 AUGUST 1944
Camp for captured pilots.
Class, everyone stand up!
Sit down, all of you,
you're on the same ship.
Kolya?
Anyway, does everyone know
what awaits them at home?
Order 270 of August 16, 1941!
It speaks of military responsibility for
capture and surrender of weapons to the enemy.
Whoever hasn't read it,
please familiarize yourself with it...
The order is written in
black and white...
Commanders...
Politicians...
Those who surrender to the enemy will be
considered unconditional deserters!
Their families will be
immediately arrested and declared outlaws...
They will be considered the families of traitors to the Motherland!
But the Wehrmacht command
gives us a chance.
If you accept my offer,
you can get your helmet back.
They'll be back in the cockpit.
They'll ascend to heaven.
They'll feel useful.
That's all for today.
Everyone out!
Kolya!
Miska!

Misha!
I thought you knew it's not
a coincidence! It's fate!
Come on, why are you staring at me like that?
Look away!
Come on, say hello! Come on, look at me!
I'm alive! I'm alive!
You thought you'd
died a hero.
So how are you? How's Faya?
Faya wrote...
Your father, when he got
your death certificate, was furious.
Sit down.
- What if your father finds out?
- You won't know! You won't know!
How do you know, Misha?
I died and that's the end!
Kolya Larin is dead!
And this is my other life!
Hmm...
Then...
- And what are you doing here with them?
- Come here and I'll show you.
Faster!
Like it?
I'll vouch for you in front of the boss.
I told them you're my friend...
A good pilot, a true ace!
You'll be paid...
16 frames!
The Germans respect those
who are good at their work.
Sit down! Enjoy this!
Nuremberg!
We've sold our loyalty
for sausages and beer.
Or we go home as
heroes with medals.
Is this how they trust everyone?
Got it.
You know, Misha, I
can even see your belly.
Many who come here for the first
time think like that.
How will you escape, Misha?
All the instruments are written
in German.
- Even if you really want to, you won't take off.
- What?
Faya told you to learn German! Now
you're standing here like a fool.
But you know German, and
the planes are right here!
- They'll chase and shoot me down.
- Have you tried it yet?
Misha, look at me!
The badge is German...
The plane is German...
That's treason...
Death, loss of honor...
A disgrace to the family.
My father will never forgive me!
Kolya, you're wrong! Your father will forgive you,
I'll explain everything to him!
Let's fly together! Let's fly!
Let's take that boy with us!
Everyone here wants to go home, Kolya!
- Who wants to?
- Everyone wants to!
Who is everyone?
I'll tell you something.
Halt!
Stop Devyatayev!
Don't shoot!
Halt! Don't shoot!
Halt!
Don't shoot! Stop, you idiot!
Stop, you idiot!
You idiot!
Don't shoot!
Halt!
Either way, I want to help you!
Wake up, you idiot! Wake up, wake up!
Come on, buddy!
I'll write in the report that you helped prevent the leak!
Just confirm it, okay?
- How will I look people in the eye after that?
- People? You mean them?
Don't do that.
What do you want? We've been traitors to the Motherland for a long time, Misha!
I'll take care of the motherland myself.
You're betraying not only the Motherland, but me too, Kolya...
Yeah?
No one will know, Misha.
Bastard!
I'll kill you, bastard!
I'm getting out of here! Do you understand, you bastard?!
Fly away, Misha...
Like the ash from a crematorium chimney!
Attention! Attention!
After completing the sanitation procedure
prisoners will receive clean clothing and food.
Leave your personal belongings in the marked place.
SEPTEMBER 15, 1944. Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
They will be divided into work groups and will carry personal identification.
Keep them with you.
- Documents!
- Mikhail Devyatayev.
Mikhail Devyatayev, pilot...
Organizing an escape...
Come on, sit down...
For something like that, you'd go straight to the crematorium.
"In heaven she flies like an angel."
"In prayer, the soul rises..."
Cut my hair now!
You're right, you're absolutely right. It's better to die today.
Or is this too soon for you?
- Wait, hero, I'll cut your hair...
- Go to hell!
There's no devil here, no God. I'm here for all of it.
- Your liberation.
- What liberation?
Nikitienko.
Grigory Stepanovich.
From the village of Darnitsa, in the Kiev region...
- And who's that?
- Who, like who? A gunner.
What about me?
For now, you'll remain
Nikitienko.
And they'll take you to a place you won't come back from...
But don't be afraid...
If you catch the iron bird,
it will take you home...
And then you'll tell
them over there what happened here.
God is eternal...
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...
Satan...
Listen! Buddy!
Soldier...
In the name of the Almighty...
Wake up! Look at me!
- Pick one?! What's your name?
- Fatih... - Fatih... damn it!
Take it! Take this, eat!
Thank you...
Come on!
Fatah, wake up!
Come on, get up!
Come on!
What is that?!
October 2, 1944, Island of Usedom.
(Save yourself from suffering)
Attention!
Do you have anything to eat?
Share the bread, brother, I
just want a piece.
Jesus preached that we should share.
He sees everything...
My bread...!
Leave it alone!
My bread!
- My bread! Kapo!
My bread!
- Who's there?
- Crazy...
What are you looking at?
Hey... Can you hear me?
- Wait, wait, wait...
- Me?!
Are you Tatar?
Leningrad! Marathon 38!
My aunt is your neighbor!
My mother and I came to visit you.
Remember?! I'm Ryaboj!
Don't you recognize me anymore, Mustafa?
- Fatih...
Up the stairs, this is the place.
Get up! Get up, I said!
Attention!
"Ten thousand men to maneuver..."
Eat faster!
Death awaits them if they
try to beat fellow prisoners!
Your life, you bastard, belongs to the
Greater Reich! Understand?!
Nikitienko, Grigory Stepanovich...
There are two types of people on this field: those
who work and those who are already dead!
I hope you understand what you've been told.
- Do you understand?!
- Yes, of course...
Sokolov! Why are you so downcast?
Idiot! You're thick-headed!
When we call out your surname,
you shout your number.
- Karpienko!
- 53603!
- Shimakov!
- 95012!
Kharcev!
Nikitienko.
Heinkel... - Their number!
- Damn Nikitienko!
- 11024.
Are you deaf?! Idiot. Can't you hear!
- Name!
- Nikitienko, Grigori Stepanovich...
- Year of birth!
- 1921...
Place of birth!
- Kiev...
- Kiev?!
Darnitsa, Kiev region...
I remember who you are, Nikitienko!
Don't you forget that!
Nikitienko, what are you looking at?
Keep going!
And now sing!
"Old comrades who
marched across the country
they forged a loyal friendship
as hard as rock.."
Do you work at the airfield?
What?
I have to get over there.
Nikitienko, sing! Sing!
Louder!
Rockets! Here they come!!!
Let's run! Quick!
One of those rockets is going to
kill us someday.
Don't complain, Hans.
We bombed London with them...
Soon they'll fly to
Moscow and that will be the end of the war!
Unload everything that's left here!
They can go to the hospital on their own!
Put someone else on the road.
Close to me.
In one row.
- Can you hear me?
- Please...
- Nikitienko!
- He's alive! He's still alive!
You're deaf!
All the roses are alive! Get them on the road now!
I have to leave you here... Fatih, be patient.
I'll come back! Hold on, bro, I'll come back!
I'll come back... just wait!
AurorA RSA:
German, did they
put it on the plane?
What?
- For the rocket.
- Year.
The plane was stopped at the airport
and the rocket took off in the forest.
- The bomb flew by itself.
- I ate it myself?
It's that simple...
Where are you going?
It's busy. The owner's back.
Fatah!
You're going to swim...
- Where am I going to swim?
- Tell the kids...
that you're staying in my place. Excuse me...
- Why?
- There's no more room inside the boat...
Find Korsha...
- Who's Korsha?
- Korsha!
Fatah! Who's Korsha?
- Ivanoff!
- Present!
Lavnov!
Listen, buddy...
Didn't you see Korsha?
Who's Korsha?
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Korsha!
Wait!
Get to the boat, I'll follow you...
Niemchenko! Cover the
boat so it can't be seen.
The boat has to be hidden somewhere else.
You'll find it here.
This is a good spot.
We'll escape with the high tide.
Here the current will carry us to
shore in an hour or an hour and a half.
Yes... we have to get away first, tomorrow!
Korsha!
I want to go with you!
Where are we going?
Fatih told them everything.
He's with us, Sokolov.
He'll take Fatih's place.
The whole island is crawling with patrols.
Do you think we don't know that? We have no choice, we'll go out at night.
The most important thing is to make it to the shore.
So we launch the boat and row.
We row...
And the Germans will be standing on the shore watching.
What do you suggest?
- Hijack a plane.
- Who's going to hijack it?!
- Maybe you?
- I will.
I'm a pilot.
- At a secret airfield?!
- A pilot?
Yes, Senior Lieutenant of the Guards
of the 104th Combat Regiment.
I'm Devyatayev.
Mikhail Devyatayev.
The Germans are watching the sea, we'll fly out!
If you're a pilot, why do you need us?
I can't do it alone. The plane has to be ready for takeoff.
- Why are you listening to him, Commander?!
- Wait, let him finish...
And if a tanker comes tomorrow, will we escape in a tank?!
Sokolov!
We're still going ahead with the idea of escaping by boat.
That's all I could come up with, Sokolov.
We have to go to the airfield.
Airfield equipment:
Nemchenko, Ryaboj, Kutergin, Korsha, Nikitienko!
Come on, follow me!
Behind me!
Where are these prisoners going?
Why do we have to be with them here?
Against the wall! Face the wall!
(Herr Wernher von Braun's favorite has just become popular)...
(The Saturn V moon rocket idea has been withdrawn)
- Hey Sokolov, who are they?
- Scientists.
They built that damn rocket.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Watch out!
That's our plane.
How big it is!
How far can we fly with it?
- How far, Misha?
- We'll get all the way to Moscow!
Damn Russians, don't talk!
Stop!
Yes, just let it be!
Quick, get up!
Clean all that up!
Devyatayev, how do you want to hijack the plane? There are people everywhere!
There won't be anyone here for lunch.
Attention! Everyone to your positions!
To the vehicles!
Herr. Klaus... please sit down!
Thank you.
- Break.
- Thank you very much!
Ilyayev!
Please.
They've all gone to lunch.
The next patrol will be in 3 minutes, we have 180 seconds.
Let's start!
- Bill.
- 1... 2... 3...
That scientist is mine.
4... 5... 6... 7...
- I'll take care of him.
- 8...
You take off his uniform...
12... 13... 14... 15...
- We have to be faster. - I'm changing clothes.
- We're hiding the bodies.
We're hiding the bodies.
Kutergin takes us to the plane, at a distance of 50 m.
56... 57... 58...
- The door's open.
- We're entering the hangar!
- We made it.
- Give me the shovel!
62... 63...
- This is the plane.
- Niemchenko and we climb the ladder...
I start removing the engine cover...
- I'll go to the wing and open the tank...
- Pitot tube!
- Soko!
- I'll pull out the safety cover.
You won't make it.
You need more time.
102... 103... 104...
- Now I'm erasing it!
- At this point... they're going down.
- I'll do the same to the wing.
- Where's the wing?
I get into the cockpit,
checking the fuel and oil.
- I'm removing the blanket.
- I'm guarding the ladder.
How are we doing?
- Slightly left.
- One minute...
We won't make it.
Everything's in German,
I have to understand it.
I'll translate all of it...
There won't be time for that!
They'll catch us.
Hey... In the forest, next to the
bunker, there's a crashed plane...
It looks just like ours!
Sokolov! Send us tomorrow
as a brigade to the bunker.
- Herr Klaus...
- What do you want?
- I want...
- Back to work!
The fire's going out.
We have to bring some firewood.
You're right. Here, I'm the boss.
Nikitienko! Get the rye!
The rye is placed on the
left side of the plane, under the pines.
I bet the lumberjack got lost.
- Yes, I'll go look for him.
- No!
I'll do it myself!
I'll go for a walk.
The forest is full of dry wood.
Bastard! You'll find out!
Is anyone here?
Why are you delaying? I've been
waiting 15 minutes! Back to work!
Yes, yes! Alright, alright!
Fuel pump. Remember it's Kraftstoffrderpumpe.
Kraftstoffrder pump...
Kraftstoffrderpumpe... Fuel pump.
Kraftstoffrder pump...
"Kraftstoffrder..."
- "Flugschraubeanzeiger" -
Propeller pitch indicator!
- "Kraftstoffrderpompe"
- Fuel pump.
Out!
"Nicht schaltung des Kurzsteuerung..."
Cut the control.
Short command, emergency stop...
Fuel gauge...
You won't get all that!
You can't learn to fly a plane from some stupid signs.
The Germans learn that over half a year at flight school...
Go to work and don't bother me!
Get to work!
Listen...
How do you know so much German?
The orphanage tutor was German.
- Don't you have any relatives?
- Are you asking me?
How did you get the Kapo job?
- Why are you nervous?
- You'd better ask how many fascists I've killed!
Something like this is hard to come by!
Did you find out
who's behind the boat?
Don't worry, I'll find them.
Find them or
you'll go back to the barracks.
Get in!
Stop here!
Quiet!
They found the boat, didn't show up...
- Let's go swimming.
- Don't you dare touch it.
"Nicht schaltung des Kurzsteuerung."
Control...
Emergency cutoff of the control post.
Kalin?
- Aren't you happy to see me?
- Yes, of course! But why?
- How?
- Thank you.
Kolya, you're right on time.
I've gathered the crew,
everyone's ready...
Shh!
Don't talk.
And why would that help you?
What are you afraid of? Can't you
just lift the plane?
Oh no...
Because you know German and you fly better!
Yes, that's true... I have that talent.
A talent for something that,
unlike you, never interested me.
I'm just trying, I can hold on...
All of it for him.
He can be proud of you.
It's a shame he doesn't love me.
And why would he love... Now we're traitors.
Maybe there's no
reason for love, Mishka.
You might like it.
When you love like
this, you can also forgive...
Will you fly with us?
No.
I can't do it on my own!
- I can't learn it...
- Misha!
- We fly tomorrow and I can't do it!
- You can do it!
You want it, say it again...
- Off...
- Turn it off.
With your knowledge, you'll have five!
Fuel feed pump...
- The fuel pump!
- No...
- Propeller pitch indicator.
- Yes? - Clearly.
Oh no! This is the fuel pump!
It's not a pump, but the
propeller pitch indicator!
- No, no... I'm not wrong...
- It's the indicator!
- It's not the indicator!
- Are you joking?
- Am I joking?!
- The fuel pump!
- This is the indicator!
- You're lying.
- Why would I lie to you?
- You want it not to fly.
I'm telling you it's the indicator!
You just don't want it to fly!
- You don't want me to go!!
- Shh!
Enough!
Alarm!
Everybody on your feet!
What is it, Sokolov?!
I-I know!
I know! He fought with this!
Because the cor... cor... I don't understand.
- What does it say here?
- For bravery.
Forbidden things. They're confiscated!
Understood!
Tomorrow you won't get your ration!
Sleep!
- I learned everything.
- Idiot...
Attention! Attention!
It's lunchtime!
Time to fly.
- Now! - Same here.
Now...
- Now?!
- Yes.
Sokolov, distract him!
Do it with the first blow.
Don't let him scream.
- Exactly!
- Don't worry.
Herr Klaus... You're from Berlin?
No... I'm from Bernau.
- You speak Russian?
- I understand a little...
- You're a teacher?
- No, I'm a butcher!
Metzger! He's a butcher.
Yes, yes! My father was a butcher,
my grandfather was a butcher!
Come see me after the war and I'll
make you a delicious cut of meat!
- Thank you, Herr Klaus!
- You're not like those Russian pigs.
Where's the fifth one?
I sent him for wood,
so we can make more.
It's all right.
Sebelumnya, aku bersama
Helmut di sebuah tank
di sekitar Smolensk selama beberapa waktu.
We beat the Russians.
And they're blond, just like you!
How did they kill the cow in Bernau? Mad cow... dead?
First we shock it.
- And the hammer? -What?
A real hammer.
Hit it so hard its brains spread across the whole field!
- A hammer?!
- Yes! Because it keeps walking.
It wanders around,
looks around and smokes!
Bingo!
To the shelter!
Come on! Let's run!
Don't blow up the hangar!
Don't blow up the hangar!
Take it easy! Take it easy!
If you like, come visit me in
Siberia! Do you hear me, Volodya?
We have fir trees that, if you
bang the trunk really hard...
nuts fall on your head!
Let's do it!
Not in the hangar! Not in the hangar!
Not in the hangar...
Please, not in the hangar!
What are you doing?
Don't go to the hangar!
Pilot, did they
ruin your plan?
Let's get out of here!
The plane's intact! Intact!
The bomb didn't explode!
We have to defuse it.
- Come with me!
- You go and disarm it!
- I suggest you step back.
- Nikitienko, come back!
We have to go there
and defuse the bomb.
What's wrong?
This is a total disaster!
Don't panic!
We'll call the bomb disposal squad!
Commander!
Commander! Put your hands out!
- Hey, Capo!
- Yes?!
I can defuse it!
The bomb, stop.
- You can defuse a bomb.
Yes, I understand!
- Why are you helping us?
- He's asking why you want to help them.
- I want to eat...
- You want to eat.
Anything... anything... Bread... Eat!
Eat!
Give me the binoculars!
Will you succeed?
Ryabov!
Will it explode?
- Of course it'll explode...
- Quiet! - Enough!
It'll be free, and your conscience
will haunt you for the rest of your life...
Right, Commander? It'll be
a horrible homecoming.
Hush, hush, we'll find
out something.
Oh... Why are you here, Commander?
Take this...
- Wait, wait!
- What next?!
Carefully remove the detonator cap.
Here...
- Yes. And what next?
- See that nut? - Yes.
Unscrew the nut with one hand and
hold the detonator with the other!
Screwdriver in one... and
the detonator in the other...
Do you understand!
Carefully...
There it is.
Wait!
Wait over there, guys!
Wait!
Come on, get him out.
(Kraftstoff frderpumpe...) Fuel pump.
In the end, he managed to do it.
Obstacles strengthen the spirit...
Purpose and discipline
are the foundation of order!
Today the brigade will not work!
They will receive a double
ration of food for the officers!
Follow me!
Thank you.
Let's get our rations quickly!
I'll be right back.
Keep going!
What, Nikitienko?
You're brave.
You understand what and how!
You saved the fascist plane!
Very good, very good...
- That's right!
- Get out!
I see you've understood
that the strongest is right!
The main thing is to survive
the war, squat...
And then we'll learn German
and adapt somehow.
And our country?
Our country has already turned to ashes.
I told you to leave.
Attention, attention!
Greater Germany has dealt
a crushing blow to Soviet power!
Relax!
Come on!
What?! Is it hard to bear?
Is it hard, Nikitienko?!
But you have to do it, so do it.
You've endured your whole life!
Humiliation, poverty, hunger...
Just like now! - I'm calm...
Because your plan will fail!
Who will spread your wings in the sky?
Leave them alone!
Do you think I don't
know what a fuel pump is?
- Why are you interested?
- I wanted to steal!
I'll kill you, you bastard!
Stop!
Calm down, don't despair...
Don't lose control!
If you accept my offer,
you can get your helmet back.
They'll be back in the cockpit.
They'll go up to
heaven and feel useful.
This morning, this prisoner,
for his heroic act...
saved us from the explosion.
But we must remember...
Order and discipline
are our main weapons!
Without order and discipline,
there will be no victory!
The punishment is: 25 lashes!
What are you doing?
One!
Two...!
Three! - Change!
Four!
That's enough, Sokolov!
Commander?
- Like it?
- Yes.
This is how you should treat
them. Let's head back to camp.
Boss, go on!
Come on! They're staying!
In the end... You'll fly.
They're going to kill him...
They're going to kill him!
Complete the mission and return to base!
- Heil Hitler!
- Heil Hitler!
- Why did you start falling so fast?
- I wasn't falling...
- What do you want, Herr Sturmbannfhrer?
- We need your help.
At Sachsenhausen camp we caught
someone who was changing identities.
- A prisoner has disappeared.
- What do you want me to do?
One of your pilots has been
sent to a secret location.
- You have to go there and identify him.
- That's your job!
I don't think you want the pilot to escape
and tell your father what kind of work
Lieutenant Larin did here,
who fell heroically here.
How do you know about my father?
That's my job.
Wake up! Wake up!
Misha, wake up! Wake up, buddy...
- How are you?
- Hanging in there.
Come on, Misha, eat something!
Forgive me.
- I can't do it...
- Don't be ridiculous.
And for what, Misha?
I killed a man before the war.
It was an accident.
They took me and sent me to Kolyma.
My mother couldn't take it, and she died.
And I searched for her all over Russia, on foot.
In Leningrad itself, on the ice.
It nearly broke the blockade!
Except nobody came out... that's Misha for you.
I'm here in front of you,
and my mother is over there...
So wake up, buddy! Come on, get up!
Come on, come on, come on!
Carefully.
Oh yes! We'll keep celebrating
the victory in Red Square!
Great Misha!
You're all right, Mishunia! Healthy!
- What time is lunch?
- In two hours...
Lift!
Go. Let's do it again.
- Korsha!
- I'm reporting to Klaus!
I dressed up like a fritz and
carried everything to the hangar.
Pitot tube, wheel washing machine...
Careful!
It won't hold...
Got it.
Thank you.
- And who are they?
- The Gestapo!
They're looking for someone.
- Hey Hitler!
- Hey Hitler!
Sturmbannfhrer von Berghoff.
What can I do for you?
Obersturmbannfhrer, one of the prisoners
here is suspected of using a false name.
- Is it him!
- Which one?
Larin. We were together.
We were at the same flight school! He'll
recognize me! Brother, run now!
Oberleutnant Larin
knows him personally!
- Yes, at your service!
Klaus, order the guards to round up
all the prisoners immediately. All at once!
Yes, sir!
Round up all the prisoners! Right away!
Look ahead! Don't turn around!
Remember, Kutergin!
Leningrad, Marata Street 38!
Marata 38, you go under the arch, second staircase on the left, third floor...
Third floor.
green door...
Have you thought it over, Riaboy?
You bastard soldier! This is what you get!
- High!
- Who did you say?!
Take the prisoners to the prison!
Marata 38!
Green door on the left!
Friends! Celebrate the victory for me in Red Square!
Marata 38, behind the arch...
We work here on a special military program.
One of them might prevent us from doing it.
- Oberleutnant, did you find what you were looking for?
- No!
Oberkapo, back to work!
Line up!
Take me with you! Please take me with you.
- I want to fly with you!
- Let's go get it.
To the airport!
Let's go!
Clear the spot, the door will open!
So are we going to fly?
Damn... how do we get it out of there?
Mr. Klaus!
What happened?
Damn you!
Korsha! Korsha!
- Are you crazy? Now we...
- Stop!
Home! We'll fly back, I'm a pilot.
- Move... Come on!
- Come on!
Help us up the ladder!
Check the oil and get in!
I'm going to the cabin!
46... 47...
Guys! Help me open the cabin!
I'm coming too!
I'm getting in!
I like this...
Good grief... what kind of seat is this?
Let's think of something...
64... 65...
- What are you waiting for?
- Everything's ready!
No parachute! I need something bigger to sit on.
- Take off your coat!
- Quick, take off your jacket!
Naked, quick.
Catch!
Commandant, how do you force all these prisoners?
Hunger! You don't know what hungry people are capable of.
A bomb recently nearly hit our emergency plane.
It got stuck right on top of it.
Keep going!
You have to go to heaven with clean hands!
With clean hands...
- What's wrong, pilot?
- Time! Time! -85...86...
Ein - on! Aus - off!
Go... Come on!
What's happening?! Are we going to fly?
Battery!!
How do we start the engines?
- Find the battery!
- What?
- What does it look like?
- What does it look like?
- In the cabinet on wheels! With the cable!
- Cabinet... on wheels... with the cable!
Let's find the battery!
Devyatayev, calm down!
- Is this it? - Yes! - Under the cabin!
There's a socket under the cabin.
Look down!
- This is it. Let's go.
- Ready? Let's go!
Ready!
- That's it? Contact!
- Yes!
It worked!
fuel feed pumps
(Kraftstoff-Forderpumpen)
Devyatayev! The bomb bay doors are open!
Oh, no.
Come on, come on... Think faster!
Fuel pumps!
(Kraftstoff-Forderpumpen)
- Left engine! Get away from me!
- Stay clear of the left engine!
Let's get out of here!
Yes... The left engine...
Where's the indicator? There it is.
"Switch on only when the engine is not running."
And one...
Two, three, four... five...
six... eight! Now!
Let's go, God!
Full power. They can unlock the wheels and climb.
Unlock the wheels and get the plane up!
Pull out the battery!
Start the right engine.
Magnet switch...
Everyone inside! Move! Quickly!
Let me open it!
Open the door and get in!
Damn, there's a patrol!
A police car! For my mother!
Don't move, don't speak!
The patrol has passed! I'm opening the door!
Kutergin, get into the cockpit!
- I'm in!
- All of us!
Let's go!
I'm releasing the brake!
What's going on?
Why aren't you moving, pilot?
- Is something wrong?!
- There's a lock under the wheel!
Is it stuck?
- Blocked!
- Nemchenko, follow me!
Quick!
- Is everyone there?
- Run, run, run!
- Is everyone there?
- Everyone!
Healthy! Everyone's fine!
Good brothers! Let's go!
Full throttle!
Come on, Gustaf! Move, come on!
Drive well...
Put on your helmet and duck!
- Don't look out the window!
- Get down!
Misha, a truck!
- Sokolov... - Yes? - Find the map.
- So north...
- We're here.
Look, there's something else here. Our base plan.
- Take it, it'll be useful at home.
- We'll fly west first!
- Why?
- They'll be looking for us in the east!
Wait!
Finally! We're going to fly!
What are they saying?
They say the runway is closed. You have to let someone through.
Who do we let land? I don't see anything here.
Damn it!
Small! Nothing bad...
- The road... Come on!
- Let's go now!
- Devyatayev! Why won't it take off?!
- I don't know...
- What's going on?!
- What are you doing, pilot?!
- Why won't it take off again?!
- I don't understand what's happening!
It has to lift its tail, then
it'll fly on its own.
Misha, do something, this is the end of the runway!
Take cover!
Damn... this is the end.
Wow! We're alive.
The plane is gone!
I want a report on what happened!
Lieutenant!
Niemchenko! Are you alive?
You bastard! You're no pilot!
He likes putting us right in front of the firing squad!
What are you doing, idiot?
Quiet!
- Korsha, did you remove all the locks?
- I put them all back.
- Run and check again!
- Quiet!
Germans, brother! Germans!
Sit down, sit down! We're going!
Let's try now!
Come on, Misha, hurry up!
- I won't make it...
- Hey pilot, are we taking off or not?
I have to go back to the start of the runway, the plane won't take off against the wind!
They killed him. They're on the track!
Alarm! Alarm!
- To the car!
- I'll try!
Where are you going, Mishania?
There's information about the rocket on the plane!
Yes, the rocket's flight path.
Your pilot has an accurate map!
- There's a car on the left!
- That's the commandant's car! Faster!
Go... Let's go!
There are materials from our research program!
You'll find everything there! We have to cut them off!
Stop them or that'll be the end of us!
Why is this happening?
Come on! Gustav, come on!
Damn, it's jammed!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
We need to get closer.
Go... Let's go!
- Help me!
- Go... Let's go!
Come here, everyone, quick! We have to push! Come on!
You won't get away, Mishenka!
You're not going anywhere, buddy!
Dear city!
Taking off...
You finally did it.
Don't let go yet!
- I'm not letting go!
- Drop it already.
We're really flying!
Don't take...
Do you know what's even more interesting?
The control levers in the cockpit
are placed so absurdly,
that when I first
sat down there, I
wondered: where are
the altitude controls?
I searched for them, I searched for them...
until I found them.
They're on the right side,
under the seat.
Under the seat, on the right side!
There it is! That's right!
Wait, wait!
We made it? What?
Yes, now, we're doing it now!
We're flying.
The lad will go through all
the battles and wars...
Without knowing his dream,
without knowing his loneliness...
The beloved city can sleep soundly...
He dreams and turns
green in the middle of spring.
The beloved city can sleep soundly...
When the lad finally returns home...
The local wind will blow after him...
Do you remember what he said?
Marathon 38?
I'll remember that address for the rest of my life...
The family home, green gardens,
and the gentle view of Fajin!
- Devyataev, why aren't you singing?
- Who's this?
- Forgot the lyrics?
- Larin!
It's a sad song, isn't it?
Like at a funeral, Mishka.
Bastards!
Get ready for battle!
- Korsha, lower the gun to the bottom turret!
- Understood!
- Can anyone shoot?
- No, yes!
- Kutergin, let's go!
- Understood!
Keep your eyes open!
Can you see it?
- Korsha!
- I can't see it!
Where?!
Over there?
- Kutergin! Do you have ammo for the machine gun?
- Plenty!
Do you know why the dead get up?
Why do they bury bodies
as deep as they can?
Why?
So the dead don't come back to life.
Everyone has to say goodbye and forget.
Because some people come back,
and it's terrifying!
They cling to life!
God forbid this happens to us...
And we're already dead!
Did you hear that, Devyatayev?
Do you remember order 270?
The dead must not
return to the living...
Where are you going, Misha?
- Let me go.
If I let you go, you'll talk.
No way!
The beloved city can sleep soundly!
And dream...
Got you, Mishania!
- I've got him!
- Fire!
- He's hiding behind the tail!
- I'll find out! Let's go!
Damn, this one's for you!
Are you all right over there? Didn't
I hand it over to your guys?
Take it easy!
- Is it alive? - It's fine! It's alive!
- What does it look like over there?
- The upper dome is damaged,
Korsha! Don't let him
get into the dead zone!
If he crosses the line,
he'll finish us off!
I see him!
Don't let him get behind the tail!
He's hiding behind the tail!
- It's over...
- You knew it!
It's on fire!
It's on fire! Let's light up, bro! Pressure! The pressure's dropping!
I'll level it!
Answer me!
Cut off the fuel supply!
- Where?! - Where?! - On the left!
I warned you, Devyatayev!
You don't stand a chance...
Misha! Ground!
Idiot ground!
Ground!
Then let's finish this.
Come on!
- Who spotted him? - Below the U.S.!
Fire!
He's hiding again! Damn it!
- Find him! - Shoot! Shoot!
Misha, Misha...
Shooting a defenseless comrade isn't the Soviet way...
I gave him one, I got him! - Enough!
Kolya, Kolya... that's enough.
Below us is the front line. Come on, let's go home!
And where would I go, Misha?
Who would I make happy there? My father? He'll be pleased with his new uniform.
We're going home! I'll explain everything, Kolya!
Will you save yourself, Kolya? Do you hear me? Kolya, can you hear me?
I hear you, Misha, forgive me...
There's no way back for me.
I'm going to touch you guys!
Knock knock, it's me, guys!
What are you doing, you idiot?! We're going to crash!
Your mom's here, she brought milk!
Open... open the door!
- Oh my God! - We're going to burn!
Kuterin, grab the machine gun and hand it to me!
It's jammed!
Hurry up!
Quick, quick, quick!
- Damn it! We're going down!
- Kuterin is coming to help me.
- Come on, come on...
- Let's go, let's go!
- Go!
- Shoot, Kuterin!
I've finished it!
Devyataev...
Misha, I'm falling!
Devyataev! Can you hear me?!
Forgive me for everything!
Look after Faya! Misha!
Misha!
For my father... don't tell Dad!
I won't tell him.
I promise you, Kolya...
Misha! Wake up!
- They've got us!
- What do you mean "got us"? We're in a German plane!
They hit the second engine!
We're losing altitude!
We're going down!
Everyone sit down! Get ready
for an emergency landing!
Be careful, brothers!
Come on, don't let us down!
Now hold on tight!
Are they all alive?
Nice landing!
That doesn't matter.
Korsha... Where's Korsha?
- Korsha!
- Are you all right, Korsha?
Korsha!
Here!
We're home...
Actually... Which region are we in?
Brothers! A vehicle with soldiers!
Germans?
Raise your weapons! We'll defend ourselves!
We won't make it.
There are too many of them.
Surrender, Fritz!
They've got us!
Ours, we're theirs!
Don't shoot! We're yours!
- They're ours!! - Who are you?
Friends, they've got us!
March 3, 1945, Czlopa.
Mikhail Devyatayev.
Born in 1917.
Lie down!
This is the missile center.
Connected to the underground factory...
- There it is.
- Incredible.
Make room on your uniform.
- Get well soon!
- Thank you very much.
I have a few questions for you.
Do you agree?
Yes, of course! Please.
- This is an incredible story...
- Yes.
Our experts say that without
preparatory training,
it's impossible to take off
in a plane like that.
Yes, it was difficult...
That's not true!
You came in that plane. How
did you learn to handle it so quickly?
The Germans trained them
for six months...
Do you think I'm lying?
you were at the air force
training base in Lodz.
There was a man who
vouched for you to the Germans.
Give us his name and you can
get that spot for the medal.
Won't you speak?
All right... We'll remember it together.
How did you survive in the camp? Why
don't you tell the truth?!
Who are you protecting?!
- I promised to keep quiet.
- Who did you promise?!
Yes! The bus stop!
Stop, we're leaving!
- Who did you promise?!
- They're holding us...
Let's go, Faya.
For 12 years they
took me in for interrogation...
And every time, Faya and I
said goodbye forever.
Good morning!
Devyatayev, Mikhail Petrovich?
But that day I was summoned from Moscow.
The Kremlin.
There I was awarded
a high government honor.
Dad, aren't you a traitor?
I may never know
why they believed me right away.
Maybe because times had changed...
Or maybe...
Because I didn't betray my friends.
We will forget our mistakes...
And life goes on.
You have to be able to forgive mistakes.
And remember the great deeds!
Twelve years after my escape, I
walked across Red Square...
And it seemed to me
that we were all walking close together...
Those who survived and those who died!
Vladimir Sokolov and Piotr
Kutergin returned to the front.
And only a month later they
died while crossing the Oder River.
Volody Niemchenko was killed
in the assault on Berlin.
But we were there together!
And everyone around, young and old, shouted...
Glory to the heroes!
The fireworks lights...
They brightly lit up
the faces of my friends!
Come on, Captain... - Full speed! - Yes.
Keep going!
