Cold War adversaries Col. Jack Knowles and his Russian counterpart, Col. Valachev, are stationed on opposite sides of the German-Czech border. Both men are responsible for a group of troops in their remote settings, and both have been shaped by their combat experiences and a shared aversion to their superiors' ways of doing things. After a defector is killed, things escalate into a full-fledged battle with serious geopolitical ramifications.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two hardened Cold War soldiers face off across a fractured border in a psychological duel that escalates from standoff to catastrophe. It's a pressure-cooker study of masculine pride and the thin line between duty and recklessness.
