What might put you off
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Pyotr, backward lad from poor village, comes to town desperate for work. He's hired as replacement ("scab") worker at big metallurgical factory, which is in the throes of a strike organized by the Bolsheviks (communists). Deceitful industrialist's son involves naive young man in an attempt to murder Bolshevik leader.
