(recommendation from Chris Hadfield, of all people; apparently this film is traditional to watch the night before Soyuz launches)

Wow. This was one of the most watched movies around our household during my childhood.

The place in the movie is just near my hometown, old Merv in Turkmenistan.

Thankyou! I spent quite a lot of the film wondering where these amazing locations were.

A.k.a. the "Eastern" genre (as opposed to "Western" movies).
