Short description

A story about bravery, self-sacrifice and human dignity put on trial by the merciless power of nature. A young pilot is fired from military air force after disobeying an absurd order. He gets a job as a co-pilot with a civil airline. Being brutally honest and direct, he is not on best terms with his new colleagues. During a flight to Asia his crew receives a distress message from a volcanic island and makes a decision to attempt a rescue mission. Will it be a success? Will they survive the disaster? They have a single chance to find that out: by being a team and sticking up for one another.

What's left behind the scenes

The second Russian film after "Stalingrad" (Fyodor Bondarchuk, 2013) to be shot in "IMAX" format.
During Gushchin's flight simulator exam, Alexander Mitta appears as a technician for a few seconds, but he is not listed in the final credits.
The film contains a reference to the 1979 film "Crew". During a meeting of the airline's management, one employee addresses Alexandra Yakovleva's character: "It's easy for you to say, Tamara Igorevna. You probably haven't found yourself in such a situation, have you?" To which she replies: "Are you sure?" Alexandra Yakovleva played the stewardess Tamara in the Soviet "Crew".
A BMW X5 in the E70 body style is dropped from the plane, and then a BMW X5 in the E53 body style falls into the water near some fishermen.
On the 32nd minute, as the crew begins its landing approach, the trainee co-pilot Gushchin spots an oncoming Boeing in the fog and immediately initiates a go-around. At this time, the TCAS system does not issue any alerts. The TCAS system warns of dangerous proximity to other aircraft in the air. It is installed on all aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of over 5700 kg.
