Return Move

Return Move (1981) is a Soviet military action film — watch online on iFILM. The second entry in a dilogy begun with In the Zone of Special Attention, directed by Mikhail Tumanishvili and starring Boris Galkin and Mikhail Volontir.

Command sends a four-person sabotage unit deep behind enemy lines: the mission is to recover classified documents. The opposing side plays it clever — Colonel Moroshkin lets himself get captured while carrying a hidden transmitter. Tarasov reads the trap and improvises a way through anyway. What follows is a nighttime airfield raid, an armoured pursuit, and a bridge that doesn't survive the encounter. Volontir takes serious damage in the blast. The documents still reach their destination, and the southern command launches its offensive. A tight, well-paced action film that earns every one of its eighty-four minutes.
