Dvizhenie Vverkh - Sprung an die Spitze

An ultimate sports tearjerker, this is a reasonably well made buddy movie about the most legendary basketball event of the century. It's heavy with propaganda and Russian patriotism, but what else can be expected. The film is quite tense and smooth, in spite of some blatantly disappointing comic relief towards the end (the hippie-Harley hillbilly couple gets much too much screen time, as does the all-black NY street punk team that seems to be fixed in time to the same street corner, where they miraculously have a TV set). However, it's a very watchable movie, regardless of your political on athletic preferences, even though the story could have be told from quite a different viewpoint, had it been made in the US.

The film is not bad, if you don't know the truth. Anton Megerdichev took real people under real names and brazenly lies, and when they ask him about historicity, he says that the film is artistic , but the film does not work as an artistic one. Very good camerawork, but this is the only good thing in this film

Tip:one-time viewing.

This movie on the miracle of the Soviet basketball team is very interesting and inspiring. Great work

The first time I watched this movie, I liked it. I would probably recommend it and give it 7-8 star review. Thanks to BadComedian's review I realized that this movie is full of disinformation and crap. Think for yourselves.

This is perhaps the best Russian film in the last 20 years!

Stunning movie Interesting, lively, funny, dramatic. In comparison with the previous work - Legend 17, the creators paid much attention not to one character, but to the entire team, where each person, not the screen, also paid much attention to the coach and his family. I empathized, laughed and cried. In the cinema, in which I was, the whole audience stood applauding.

I do not know if this film was released in other languages, but I advise all fans of the sports drama genre to get acquainted with this amazing work.

Sorry for my bad english.
