Story of the lives of three Soviet pilots who are united by disaster in a small town in the mountains.

This movie is about a crew of a passenger plane and consists of two parts. The first part tells about personal lives of the characters, their successes and failures, relationships inside their families and between each others. The second part has them land the plane in the airport of a city called Bidri, which was damaged by an earthquake. They try to fly people to safety, but just as they land, another earthquake hits, and now the chances of a successful takeoff are slim...—Boris Shafir <[email protected]>

The crew was on a routine flight to deliver food and medicine to the population affected by the earthquake. After the aircraft arrived, there was another earthquake kick and the runway was damaged. The crew managed to lift the plane, but it soon became clear that the plane was damaged and was unlikely to be able to land.—Bazza the Beast
