The film, which went on to win many awards, was the debut of the director Aleksei Fedorchenko. Plot A group of journalists are investigating a highly secret document when they uncover a sensational story: that before the Second World War, in 1938, the first rocket was made in the USSR and Soviet scientists were planning to send an orbiter to the Moon and back.

He is helped into a space sui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
