Fergana, 1988. Young Soviet recruits are broken down and rebuilt. Then sent to Afghanistan. Aleksei Chadov and Fyodor Bondarchuk star in 9th Company (2005) on DVD. Directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk — son of legendary Soviet director Sergei Bondarchuk (*War and Peace*, Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film) — the film follows a group of young conscripts from the brutality of training at Fergana through to their deployment in Afghanistan, culminating in the real Battle of Hill 3234 (7–8 January 1988), where 39 men of the 9th Company held off a mujahideen force of several hundred through an entire night. Russia’s biggest box-office hit of 2005 and the country’s submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Rightfully compared to Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and Black Hawk Down. Russian language with English subtitles. Also starring Mikhail Yevlanov and Ivan Kokorin. 134 minutes. 15 cert.
