I showed this film in a youth detention center 6 years ago to older juveniles - it was time to take it down to cell rooms as the shift was over - they were glued to this film so I let it finish out ten minutes after my shift ended. It had some brilliant scores and I remember when I saw it for the first time it was really intense and real.

Fun fact: when the tank commander says, “can’t get elevation, he knows it, ” Russian tanks were small and designed for European warfare and the cannon elevation for most Russian tanks were limited. The Russian T55 tanks cannon could only raise up 9 degrees and the T62 seen in the movie could only raise 16 degrees.

I saw this when it came out in the theater. It was in a class where they showed current movies, so we just show up and watch whatever the movie was that week. So, we were all surprised by this movie no one had ever heard of. It was really good. Gripping, exciting and rather complex when it came to the issues.

Arguably the best war movie and war movie score of all time. Incredible film and underrated. Everyone I've referred this to asked "why had I never heard of this movie before?!" The attack on the village at the beginning was insane; most realistic scene in war movie history. Those had to be live rounds they were firing out of the main guns as no other simulation can mimic the vacuum created by a tank main gun firing in a sandy environment like that, to say nothing of the explosions lining up perfectly with gun firing.

An underrated gem of a film that's more relevant now than when it was made. I have a feeling demand for it will increase in the next year or so as more and more Americans (who largely ignored our occupation of Afghanistan) will try to come to terms with what went wrong....much like the Russians did 2 decades earlier. The same thing happened with "Battle for Algiers" (1966) when the Iraq occupation blew up in our faces.
