While recent events are certainly going to pose challenges when it comes to selling an air disaster film in Russia it certainly appears as though director Nikolay Lebedev has delivered a high quality one with his upcoming
Crew.
A young pilot gets
kicked out of the military air force after breaching an absurd order. He
starts working as a second pilot in the civil aviation. Always
straight-forward, he is not on best terms with his new colleagues.
During
a flight to Asia his crew receives an alert about an earthquake on the
volcanic island and takes a decision to fly a dangerous rescue mission.
Only together the crew can survive the disaster.
Based on the trailer I'd say there's a bit of Bruckheimer in the DNA of this one, which really seems to draw its strength from the super glossy visuals. Check out the Russian trailer below!
