9th Company

“They stood together while their country fell apart...”

In the late 1980s, a group of Russian conscripts finishes its training and ships out to Afghanistan, where the insurgents are slowly gaining ground. Fyodor Bondarchuk follows Vorobey (Aleksey Chadov) and the men he trained beside, boys who have learned to march and shoot but not yet what a posting there means. Vorobey arrives believing he can serve out his term and go home, and the film gives him one winter to find out.
