About the film

A Soviet naval reconnaissance group is sent on a routine exercise in the Pacific. They soon discover that a group of foreign officers is preparing a provocation that could launch a nuclear war.

Cut off from command and outnumbered, the marines have to act alone. There are commando raids, chases and gunfights, filmed in a style that Soviet audiences had rarely seen.
